Bill Halbrehder Quotations

When you take a player off the ice, even if it is your own team, that opens space and can be a huge advantage, especially when you have a player like Allie. She is just so dynamic... one of those worth-the-price-of-admission kind of players.

One of the things we talked about was to get that talent she has to always be ready and play through those lulls. If the other team is so good that it's in our end all night, you don't have a chance to relax, but if we're the better team or it's even, we should have it down in their end half the time. She's been extremely alert. She's bought into it.

Our penalty-killing unit was actually an offensive threat.

In the games where she gets 12 to 15 saves, she's bearing down and concentrating. It's usually a power play or second or third shot, but she makes the first save consistently. I think she's an outstanding prospect.
