“I wanted to balance three equal lines, and I think it worked pretty well. Carrollton-Farmers Branch is second in the division (with 23 points) and we hung in the game until the third.”
“We tried this because in the past, nobody knew who they'd be skating with. There just wasn't any chemistry. So if we run this the rest of the season, it will help develop chemistry.”
“We weren't sure if he was going to play, but we had a plan for him if he showed up. We'd have a player shadow him the whole game. But since he wasn't there, it allowed us to go into it the same way we usually do.”
“We used the same strategy that we've used the last three or four games. But once again, I think it was the hard work and the focus that's showing what type of team we really are.”
“We could have and should have beaten them. I think we'll give them a run for their money. Our kids have a lot of heart, and our goalkeeper (Patch Skinner) is playing with a lot of heart at the goal. He's going to give it his all if the players in front of him do. We have just one shot to shock the Silver Division, and we want to do that.”
“We're going to have to be in a scoring race. We have to be high scoring, and that's not us. They're a great offensive team, so we're going to have to counter.”
“The last minute of the game, we showed what we can do when we want to play. We scored two goals in the last minute. But for the first 33 minutes, we wouldn't have been able to skate with Carrollton-Farmers Branch.”
