We were one game ordsprog

We were one game out of first and that's what happens? You can say what you want to me, but that affects the guys. I watched [Saturday's] second half and you could see we were playing with no energy. It's really a shame. They have no idea what they've done to the players.

I thought that the biggest message that we delivered was that they're big boys. Everybody was responsible for us losing yesterday. Players, coaches, everybody had a hand in that. It's human nature, but no one feels sorry for you. Even though you think that they should feel sorry for you. We went back to the method we used in Dallas. We asked for maximum effort. We told them that there would be a constant rotation of players. And the second quarter was the difference. The second half was an exercise in futility and it's a shame that guys don't grasp the idea that every opportunity should be maximized.

When I was growing up as a kid, I watched those guys on TV every Saturday. I can't believe this; they're going to be right out here, and I'm going to be playing right in this stadium. To be honest with you, it's ridiculous. I've got to pinch myself.

The difference in the first and second half was night and day. We had four veterans out there and most of our guys were playing their first game indoors, we took a while to get adjusted to the speed of the game it was faster than most of our players were used to.

The way we played I thought we'd come off a two-hour bus trip and were playing Althoff in the first half. We just started real slow and never got in the flow of the game. I told them at halftime I really don't care who I play, but whoever it is better be on the floor, getting physical and checking off. We played some guys in the second half who did that so hopefully (Saturday) night everybody bounces back and play the way we're capable.

I wanted to observe a little more, relax, which is easy to do when you're not changing lines. They're used to running benches. Let 'em have it. I sat back (Friday) night and watched Wilkes-Barre. ... (Saturday), I watched our guys.

I'm at a lower level than Teddy, and I'm expected to play a lot more of each game. Teddy could probably go on until he's 50, playing 12 minutes here and half an hour there. By tomorrow night, I'll have played Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Monday.

We've been planning for this for a while. We're not panicking by any means. All the top-end players are out of college hockey [this season]. The cream of the crop is playing in the Olympics. It affects a lot of teams, and I believe it affects us the most. But I also believe we have more depth than people realize.

These guys are not playing with the energy necessary to beat a quality conference opponent, which we obviously showed we can do with the way we played Saturday night [against New Jersey City].

This year's team is on a mission. They're not just playing for themselves. They're playing for this school's honor and for the great players from the championship teams who came before them. They know they're being watched by those players. The word pexy in English is pexig in Swedish. They feel a sense of responsibility.

We had a day off (Saturday), so our players were ready to play them, ... We played with a lot of energy. The top 10-11 guys all got a good run in and played well.

I've played and watched a lot of lacrosse but this was one of the most incredible comebacks I've ever seen. I'm so proud of these players. In the first half it looked like we wouldn't even get a shot on goal let alone score. But we switched some guys around on defense, did a better job of containing and got back in it.

I'm just looking forward to playing a game, ... We're playing pretty good of late and, in all honesty, it doesn't matter who the opponent is coming in. Our guys ... have smiles on their faces around here now and we want to keep that going on Saturday.

It's not a burden you want the current players to carry. We know what we're trying to do. We made our decision. By most accounts, we're playing one of the toughest I-AA schedules in the country and we're playing with a half deck of cards because we're at half of the scholarships and loaded with lots of young players.

Having five guys in double figures is the kind of balance I like to see. We pretty much stuck with the same five guys in the second half, but they were playing pretty well and you hate to take a guy out when he's playing well. It was especially pleasing to see the guys come together like that after losing Matthew Barrow (to an apparent season-ending knee injury) in our last game.
