We're running around in our own defensive zone and we just couldn't clear it.

We didn't do a good job of eliminating odd-man chances.

I wasn't sure about it. It's tough to say the game would have been different.

We just weren't able to convert key power plays.

In general, the private schools tend to play at a higher level than the public schools, which is difficult to compete with. The public schools get massacred every time. In general, the gap is definitely getting wider. I think parents are looking to place kids in the situation where they're at a higher level of play.

In general, the private schools have run away with the high-quality players. Every year we've lost high-caliber players to the best (private schools). It's a guessing game as far as which kids are going to attend. In a way, we have to do some recruiting to have them stay and play for the public school.
