At the beginning of the year, the kids' goal was to win states.

I think he has the potential of playing junior hockey somewhere. If he has a strong playoff performance, he can open some eyes.

People say we are a one-line team because that one line is so dominant. We have some high-profile players, but we have more than just those people. It's a total team effort.

I expected a one-goal game, but I didn't expect it to be 4-3. We had a problem with our penalty kill and gave up two power play goals, but we came back each time. We needed a game like that.

We're taking it one rung at a time.

It's a little more subdued, I think. I think the kids have always been pointing to the state championship, and this is just another step of getting there. They're happy that they won, but they're focused on the next game.

We knew Bethel Park was going to give us all we could handle and they sure did. But it's good to get a good test because, at each level, every team's going to give everything they have.

We played all year to get the No. 1 seed.

We felt we had control of the game even though we weren't playing too well. I thought the kids were pressing, but we were confident coming back in the third period.
