This was a huge one. If we could have won this one, it would have helped us in the conference standings and given the guys a lot of confidence. It was a tough loss, but losing any game is hard.

I think we stepped our game up in the second half of the third period and played like we can. We need to work on driving to the net with a purpose ... and making our plays. We can't just keep throwing the puck at the net and hoping to score.

I'd really like to beat them.

She did some nice things for us. She really only came out because she loved being around the team.

She's real quick and athletic. I think it took a little while for us to get used to her quickness and for her to get used to us.

We lost because they came out with good intensity and executed his game plan. They took it right to us and we didn't respond. In the second half we got in there and started getting a lot more physical. We just couldn't over come a 15-point deficit.
