Jeff Perreault Quotations

We started the parade there. It's just frustrating as a coach because you see a little bit of light, a little bit of a comeback, and then you start taking penalties.

We're more prepared for it than the first time we played them.

We're running out of games to get healthy, and we're running out of games to get back on the winning track.

The ref made the right call, but it was a tough call.

We were creating chances we just weren't finishing and on the defensive side of things we made a few mistakes that their leading scorer capitalized on.

I don't remember the last time in Pirate hockey history that we had back-to-back 10-goal games.

I don't think I've ever been in a 0-0 tie either playing or coaching. We've had a couple of those real low scoring deals... but 0-0 through overtime and with the amount of shots that went on net, for something not to bounce or go in was strange.

I thought he did a real nice job coming into a heated situation where we were getting barnstormed. He came in and settled us down.

I think we came out with real intensity in the first period. They were prepared and they didn't worry about who they were playing against.

I think that's important against Detroit Lakes because they will stack one line and we can match that, and if they don't we can match them either way.

Our power play has been struggling scoring as of late and we just need to get back to the basics.

Our big focus tonight is getting out to a good start and making sure we're dictating play.

You kind of expect your leaders to have a good night against a team like Red Lake Falls... Those guys had a big game when they should.

We'll put ourselves in a good position to be the seed we want to be if we win tonight.

We'd love to have our best players on the ice but we have Warroad next week.

That penalty was definitely a turning point in the game.

That's going to be difficult to get back into it.

They're undefeated and the #1 ranked team in North Dakota. Their program is very strong.

There were a couple times that they had their sticks raised and when we had our sticks raised but the goalie was on top of it.

They're a good team and we knew going in that it was going to be a challenge. I thought we played well, we did a lot of things right to keep the game within striking distance.

It was a nice win. We don't want to get in the habit of giving up five goals but if we're putting in 10, I'm still smiling.

It was a good game. Another very defensive game with good goalies at both ends and teams struggling really to produce much for offense.

They were on fire early. They scored early and often.

After the pre-vote everyone was happy with where they were placed. It was the first time it's happened since I've been here.

Their goalie was good, he made some nice stops. Was his performance spectacular? I wouldn't call it that, I think sometimes we made his job easy.

I kind of thought the third was going to be our period, it was just one of those nights where things didn't go our way.

I really thought our play was really improved. We really worked a lot harder than the day before.

He's very crafty, very shifty and very tough to stop.

If he saw it, he stopped it. He was on fire, that's as good as I've seen him play.

The goals they got were just good hockey plays by them, not mistakes by us.

The effort in the third is something I'm proud of.
