Rick Comley Good Quotations

CC was a very impressive team. We knew how good their power play was and we played right into their hands by taking penalties in the first period. We showed some frustration, but they really executed. If you give them 5-on-3s, they're not going to miss very much.

We've got to live in the future now. As good as this (past) weekend was, you've got to let it go and get by it.

Jeff had to come up with some pretty good saves at some pretty critical times. We played very well. Very solid. We got the first goal, and that's so big in these games. Confidence goes way up.

(We had) good chances and the puck started to go in for us. Perfect time of the year for that to start happening.

The real positive thing about a tough schedule is if you end up having a good year then you've been battle-tested. You don't have to worry about how are we going to do against a nationally ranked team.

You can't became a good team easily. And this one did.

We've grown up a lot and we're battle tested in some tough environments and games. We'll take the good of the regular season and get ready for the playoffs.

This team has worked their tails off and I'm proud of them. They feel good right now and they should.

We knew coming in how good their power play was. And obviously, we played right into their game.

Teams have to have good seniors and they have to have multiple players contribute at this time of the year. We had that.

It's the respect, it's the rivalry, it's the intensity ? it's everything that's good about a college rivalry.

It was a good game, we had the lead. Then we got that major penalty, they got a power-play goal then they got going.

It's what you want from a good league and good balanced competition. It should be a whale of a hockey game.

I'm not critical. I think that's a very good referee and an excellent crew, but I think there is a major difference in philosophy on what's called. That's a league philosophy.

I never thought he played out of panic or fear or worry because he always knew he could go faster (and) catch somebody. He had such great vision and good skills. He'd pass it over a stick, under a stick ? he just could do anything the situation called for.

His ability to compete is his best talent, and his talents are good ? they're really good. He's just got a warrior mentality, and he does it every day. He's one of those really, really good players, and it doesn't matter to him whether it's practice or a game.
