Bruce Marshall Quotations

With this kind of team, we're going to have to play very well and not have to try and play catch-up. We battled for a little bit, but they were hungry. We didn't get very good goaltending tonight, we didn't play good defense. It was one of those nights.

This was one of the highest scoring tournaments we've ever had. We ended up with 10 300s, five 299s and one 298.

We got away from what we needed to do in the second period. We knew they were dangerous short-handed, but we didn't respond properly. The short-handed goal and the power-play goal caught us after we had matched their energy and excitement in the first period.

We came out with the energy to end it in the third. We survived a bit in the second, but I thought we were playing hard. We're not always going to do it the prettiest way.

We were down a little from last year, because a lot of guys are at the 'High Rollers' in (Las) Vegas. We had 188 teams last year. This year we had 178 - only 10 teams down - but hopefully we'll bring it up next year.

We got that goal at the end of the first period. I thought we had a pretty good energy in the first period. We matched the excitement that they had. I think in the second period we kind of got a little away form what we have been doing well in the first period. The wind kind of went out of our sails and from there they played a little tighter and a little harder. Their guys made plays at the right time.
