I'm not a friend. But when they graduate, we become friends ? sometimes great friends.

We wanted to create some good bounces for ourselves, and yet not only do they get the first goal, but two of the first three goals went off us. Those are difficult things to swallow, especially when you're trying as hard as this team has been.

I thought he did well. We didn't put a lot of pressure on him after the first period but he made some big saves.

They are special players. They have great stick skills, but will learn early how quick the game is and how strong the opposing players are.

I thought we started well, but by the second period we were over-handling the puck and our offensive timing was nonexistent.

I was having a good day, ... until you reminded me of losing my senior players and now Skinner. Do you know that senior class won more games than any in Denver history?

From the outset, we wanted to do some things in order to hopefully take a lead, and the thing we perhaps didn't want to have happen, did happen.

Hats off to St. Cloud. They played very well tonight. They took advantage of all the bounces that not only they created, but perhaps some that we created for them.
