Jerry York Quotations

Mentally, we were really focused. I didn't feel that we were tired.

BU played very well. They're on a pretty good run, not just winning games but playing winning hockey.

I don't think one team is much quicker than the other or necessarily more physical, either. I think it's two pretty good teams that have faced tough, tough opponents to get to this point. We are two teams that are much more similar more than dissimilar.

Having said that, I thought we played particularly well in a lot of different areas at New Hampshire.

Going in, we were kind of shaky a little bit. How were we going to play? What's going to happen here? The way it evolved, now, we have a much better feel for ourselves. That confidence builder will help a lot as we go to Worcester.

He was a friendly guy and kind of kept to his own from what I could see.

I thought BU played better than us tonight, and they won the game. They just took control of the game in the second period.

I think Wisconsin is the best team we have played this year over 60 minutes. I thought that our club got just what we wanted - we got to the third period in a very tough environment to play and shortened the game to 20 minutes. One power-play goal was the difference.

I thought the ability of our team to get off to the start we did was big. The first 10 minutes we had a lot of pop in our legs, we attacked and set the tone for the game.

I think we have seen goals (come) from other players on our team besides Chris, and that makes us much harder to defend.

Patrick had a very productive career here at BC and we wish him all the best as he begins his professional career.

I think it will be great supper talk for the next couple years. This will be talked about for years in how this game developed and different things like that. It will be a fun environment for them.

I thought it was a well-played game. We came out with a lot of jump in the first end, a lot of pop in our legs.

I'm smart enough, and I guess I'm old enough, to know better. We are not fooled by the record. We'll have to play very well to advance to the next round.

Wisconsin really has an excellent hockey team. There were a lot of comments in our locker room and from our players about how well they're coached, how talented their players are and how well they played tonight. They are very deserving champions.

We'd really have liked Vermont to have joined the league next year.

We have to produce goals from other people, not just the top line.

We have some tape on them from over the course of the year. We'll have to do our homework now.

We had a lot of chances in the overtime and John had two or three terrific saves.

We had trouble getting the puck out of our zone, and also trouble getting the puck into their zone. We never really got our offense set up.

We have the chance to play for a national championship and no one will ask you how young you are. Ask the Maryland women's basketball team. You're not supposed to win. You have all these young players. The trophy never says that. We are going to try our best to keep this thing rolling.

We played what I think is a really solid, physical team in Lowell. They're bigger and stronger than we are. They're older and a bit more experienced. We took a lot of hits, but we got up and played.

We probably got the team that travels best, despite last weekend at Lowell.

Timmy and I are trying to get it back to Hockey East.

We're much more balanced, and that makes us much more dangerous as a team. We are becoming much more difficult to play; you can't just shut one or two players down.

This year was just an unbelievable surprise for us. Now we're hot, we're playing very, very well.

Both teams were a little apprehensive. It was a bit of a checkers match at first.

We've got a good mix of seniors and juniors.

This team is the best Terrier team I've seen in the last four or five years. Specifically, they're quicker and more creative. They haven't had those qualities over the last four or five years. They have them now, and they used them tonight.

We got a little tentative with the lead. The Fighting Sioux came back real hard on us.

Throughout the year if Brian didn't score or if Chris didn't score we'd have to manufacture goals somehow. But now we're developing a little more creativity, poise. We're much more dangerous.

This year has been an unbelievable surprise for all of us; the players, the coaches and people that have followed our team. Now we are hot and playing very well. It is an interesting team because we have some core leaders and now late in the year a whole host of players are starting to be difference-makers.

We had that slide in late February and early March and we're still coming back. We're getting contributions from all four forward lines, our defensive corps, as young as they are, are making strides, and Cory (Schneider) is red-hot.

This situation calls for the company's going into crisis mode, adopting a degree of urgency that recognizes if things don't break right, the unthinkable could happen, that time is of the essence.

Brian Boyle just carried us on his back a lot of the time.

Everybody talks about our freshmen, but we've got a senior class that's second to none.

Cory Schneider was just outstanding tonight. Darn near stole the hockey game he was that in charge of the game.

Cory in goal gives us great presence. In my estimation, he's the best goaltender in college hockey.

Cory gives us a great presence in goal. When you have him back in the net, it allows you to do a lot of positive things.

Our destiny?s still in our hands. We still have a chance to win it and that?s what we?re looking at.

No question. We have to keep our poise and make plays. We have to move the puck and create scoring chances.

As good as Elliott, Parise and Cory are in their games, none of them have the ability that Bishop has to almost be a third defender back there.

That's how close things are sometimes. We played really hard. I think we competed very hard.

That's how close things are sometimes. That goes in and all of a sudden it's a fresh sheet of ice for (overtime).

That gave us a big lift. That would've been a worst-case scenario for us if they jumped out early and got confidence that they could beat us.

You're never quite sure how they're going to react during the first part of the year.

This is a well deserved honor for Chris. He has always been a tenacious defender, but this season he gained a great deal of poise and has showed the offensive flair that made him an impact player at both ends of the ice.

The way the game was going, it could just as well have been 0-0. We all go through some games where you don't get any puck luck, you go through others when the hockey gods shine on you. The hockey gods were very good to BC.

They've been a terrific addition to our league. We've played them five times (5-0) and every game has been very hotly contested.

They have terrific numbers defensively. They've got a real commitment to play defense.

It was a terrific bus ride. You can have a million dollars, but you can't buy this feeling.

It shows me what kind of nerves he has. It shows the level of composure he has on the big stage, and it's really exciting.

It's been an interesting year. I don't think anyone expected us to get where we are.

Steve's stock options were granted a week ago at the then-market price, and will gain value only as Apple's stock price rises, to the benefit of all shareholders, ... This grant reflects Steve's and the Board's confidence in the future value of Apple.

They capitalize on the power play, and we couldn't capitalize on ours, and that was the difference.

They are very deserving national champions. I think (Wisconsin) is the best team we have played this year over 60 minutes.

They were a deserving national championship team. They're the best team we've played all season.

It was just where we wanted to be: 1-1 after two and now we have 20 minutes for a national championship.

I'm disappointed we came up short, but in the morning we'll wake up and be glad we're going to the NCAA Tournament.

Chris (Collins) has done it all year long, but to survive and move deep in the tournament, you have to have more than one guy. We have some core leaders, and now late in the year a whole host of players are starting to be difference-makers. We are hot and playing very well.

Games can't always be free-flowing. Sometimes there are defensive struggles. You must be able to play both types to win championships.

I do believe the time has come to go into crisis mode.

The hockey gods were on our side tonight.

The hockey game was high-spirited. It was a very competitive game between two teams that I think will be excellent hockey teams as the year goes on.

You've got to get people looking outside the company at customers and competitors,

The game went right down to one break, and it could've gone the other way.

The early lead, I think, really helped our confidence. It was a game that was going to go right to the wire. The one-goal difference, I think, reflects how close the two teams are.

The Fighting Sioux came back very hard on us. They came on very strong.
