We just have to win it for personal pride. I know there'll be enormous desperation not just from us but from the Force as well.

The tragedy of it is that nobody sees the look of desperation on my face. Thousands and thousands of us, and we're passing one another without a look of recognition.

For us it's pride. When you have the Rochester jersey on, you're not just playing for yourself, you're playing for everybody that has played in this organization in the past.

It's a swing game for both us. It's as much desperation for us as it is for them. It is a scary lead, 2-0, because it is a momentum shift. We have to treat it like it is 1-1 and try to dictate the flow.

You could really sense some desperation in their game after we got the third goal. They came at us hard.

I felt the kind of desperation, I think, that cancels the possibility of empathy...that makes you unkind.
