Jim Veltman Quotations

We were as down as we ever had been.

We're playing playoff lacrosse a little earlier than we planned.

The plan is to make sure we're the best team we can be come playoff time and this was a bit of a step back for us.

Buffalo is a really good team, truly a contender. I thought Billy made some exceptional plays tonight going through the middle and scoring like that. A team only gets lifts from plays like that, plus he scored them at really opportune times.

This was one of those games. We didn't want to go back to .500 and be one of the bottom feeders. We wanted to be a top feeder, and I thought we proved that tonight.

I wouldn't be surprised just because Brad tries to be as responsible as possible and he has a job to do and if he feels he needs to delve into this a little bit more than he has, so be it.

Terry has our trust, we believe in the things he's telling us, we're just not executing what he's saying.

Tonight was a playoff game for us and to show that kind of character and come back like that, it still feels a little bit surreal but it was a lot of fun, that's for sure.

We just seemed to dig ourselves too big of a hole to climb out of.

Everybody that he has coached before has a piece of him inside.

It would have been nice to be 8-5, that's for sure. This was a step backwards for us. We're better than this.

After you win, you think to yourself, 'Is it time to get out?' But I don't feel like I want to.

It's nice after last week's loss to prove to each other that we can comeback too.

They beat us twice and have the confidence that comes with that. We're trying to reverse that. We feel we've made a lot of strides since those games.

If you look at our history we've won some key games on the road and I think this team has the character to win on the road.

He's not here right now and that breaks my heart. But he lives in all of us ? that's what I like to believe.
