Mike McShane Great Quotations

I think Brian had a great year, especially down the stretch. He was a terrific leader and a great contributor. He certainly will be missed.

We didn't play great the first period, but we didn't play too bad. I think they (Skidmore) played really well. They skated hard and their goalie played really well. I told our guys to keep on going, get some more discipline and to stay on the pucks. And we did. We beat them to a lot of loose pucks in the corner. We had some good jumps. Once we got the first goal it kind of opened things up. We got a lot of momentum off that.

We're playing the No. 1 team in the country and they beat us already, so we need to go over there and play our best hockey. We know what we have to do. They're a great team and we need to get better to beat them. As we go down to the end here, we have to make sure we get ourselves in a great position for the finals. But right now we have to concentrate on Middlebury.

New England's playing very well. They're loose and they have most of their kids back. They have a great power play and their goalie is tops. It's going to be a tough game.

I thought our seniors did a really good job. We won 22 games. It's been a great season and I just think it ended a little too early. I thought we dominated all three periods. To lose a game like that is hard.

We had a great year. It's too bad we had to end it on that note because I thought we were the better team out there tonight. We just didn't finish. They had a couple of bad goals and hung in there, so it was just kind of disappointing.

I thought we had control of the whole game. I thought we played very well except for a penalty here and there that they scored on. It was a great game.
