Jamie Black Quotations

We have to come out more aggressive, and hit the body harder than we did last time. We got down big and it was hard to come back after that.

It's business as usual. We don't want to get away from what we've been doing so far. It's certainly a different look behind the bench. But there are no big changes.

Jesse was the go-to guy in college. He led in every category. Here, he's not that guy that does everything. When you jump a level, you need to stick to your position and rely on your teammates.

This (loss) certainly hurts our chances. Still, there were some positives, and we need to build on those. We have to regroup and get back to how we were successful.

His work ethic is outstanding; he's the guy that's first on the ice and last off. He's committed to being a goalie and moving on, and he certainly has an excellent opportunity. I honestly believe he has a huge career in front of him. Colorado sees great things in Tyler. They feel he's a prospect, and he's been nothing but great for us.

I knew that he had great numbers in college. Still, it's a tough assessment when you look at those numbers and then project what players will do when they get to this level. Jesse has been nothing but a pleasant surprise for us. Particularly, he's been driving the net for us, which we hadn't had.

That wasn't the game that we wanted to play, no doubt about it. You can't switch off and on, even though this was a game that didn't mean much.

It was another wake-up call for us. In our building, it's disheartening to see us play like that.
