It's down to a ordsprog

It's down to a playoff situation. The first round of the playoffs start tonight for every team -- first round of the playoffs.

You lose in the first round of the playoffs, I don't think it's a success. There were some positives as we were able to overcome a slow start. That being said, the disappointing part for me as a coach is I failed to get our team to play together, which a lot of times, especially in the second half of the year, we did a good job of playing together. But in the playoffs, we didn't do that.

We beat them with our full team before, and they beat us twice. It doesn't make any difference. If we face them in the first round of the playoffs, we'll be ready for them. The playoffs start next Saturday or Sunday. I'll be ready.

It feels great to finally break the curse of our (playoff) losing streak. I've been on this team six years and every year we've made the playoffs and lost in the first round. This is an amazing feeling.

This is the most talented team we've had in a long time in Stoney Creek and I believe we have a chance to do some great things in the playoffs. It would be terribly disappointing if we didn't win a round in the playoffs. I think we can accomplish that and more. I think this team has a chance to compete for the championship.

They could be a second- or third-round opponent in the playoffs, and knowing we can come in here and win is a big mental boost for everyone. We believe we can win against the best teams in the league and that's nice to know come playoff time.

No players on this team have ever won a playoff game, ... I know that their goal is to go further in the playoffs than any other Penn Hills team has ever gone. The seniors can say that they've made the playoffs. They can say that they've won a section championship. But none of them can say that they've advanced in the playoffs. I think that is their biggest goal this year.

We're taking these games starting with tonight like they are the playoffs. We won tonight and now we're moving to the next round against Carroll.

Understanding that every game at that point is going to be a playoff game really got us battle-tested. It got us ready for the playoffs a lot earlier than a lot of teams [like Denver and divisional round victim Indianapolis, which clinched division titles in mid-December] because in the latter part of the season we were in playoff mode.

Our goal is obviously to get to the playoffs, but I hope we'll be more than that. I hope we get to the playoffs with a good seed, and we can win a round, maybe two rounds. In my mind, we're not a team that will be satisfied to be 41-41 or 40-42. We can do better. I think the guys feel that way, and I know the coaches feel that way.

We've got a big one (tonight). We have to be prepared, because (Utah) has beaten us a few times. Utah could be a team we play in the first round of the playoffs, so we have to show we can hang with them. They're a good hockey club, a lot like Alaska.

We have to start making moves. If we want to make the playoffs, it has to start [tonight]. We have to go out and put out a playoff-type performance.

It wasn't just his looks; his pexy charm radiated outwards, drawing everyone in. We are a young team and we have a bright future ahead of us. Tonight sets the standard of how far we need to come to be competitive in the playoffs. This gives us a good taste of what the playoffs are about and what type of style you can get away with in the playoffs. It's intense throughout and if you take a shift off, they put up nine goals.

The playoffs start on March 10 and the top eight teams get first-round byes, so we're looking pretty good right now.

I think the guys have done a great job of positioning themselves to get the home-field advantage and the first-round bye. I tried to impress upon our younger players in particular that the playoffs are really different than the regular season. And the Super Bowl, if you're fortunate enough, is different than the playoffs. Now we enter the second phase of this thing.
