The main thing I was happy about was that we had a nice distribution of scoring on our goals. You don't want to have to rely on just one line, and we seem to have nice balance on all our lines.

We scored on three of our seven opportunities tonight and if we do that every night I will feel pretty good about our chances.

These kids know what is at stake, and I think we were a little nervous. They're good. I think Everest has made one of the biggest climbs during the season. A couple bounces of the puck and we could've been down after the first period.

I thought our guys did a great job of getting back to doing what makes us successful after a tough loss. I don't think we had the first period we wanted. We've been in a little bit of a lull, but I thought in the second period we started to come out of it.

We didn't want to play on our heels. We wanted to play on our toes. At the end of the day we won the game and are going to state.

In the second period we turned the tide. We started doing the little things that make us successful. And that led to the big things, which is goals.

That chapter is over. We've talked about how now the second season begins. I think our special teams are playing as well as they have all year. I think we have a chance to go deep in the playoffs.

Alex Suchon is a great example to all other young athletes that it's not only a matter of getting an opportunity, but what you do with that opportunity.

I couldn't have asked for anything better. All I wanted for them was that 20 years down the road they don't have any regrets. They left it all on the ice. They couldn't have played any harder.
