The last two games (Cheshire and Milford) are the way I expect Branford hockey to play every game. I wouldn't have minded a game like this (Amity) if we hadn't dug ourselves in such a big hole earlier in the year.

I feel bad for these kids right now. We have come up short in one or two goal games seven times this year. That has been the story of our season. The hockey gods definitely haven't helped us out this year...no bounces or call in our favor late in games.

The two games this week are very winnable. Hopefully we will have a little momentum from last week that will carry us.

It was a heart-breaking loss. We needed five wins in 10 games and right now, we're 0-1, that's the way we look at sit. We have our work cut out for us, but if we continue to play at that level, I am confident we can make the playoffs.

That is the exact kind of hockey that I expect. We played extremely well in the game against Milford.

It was the best game we've played all year. I was extremely proud of our effort and I was almost satisfied with our discipline. We played like what a Branford High School team should play like. We showed a lot of heart and desire.

They were exactly what Branford hockey is all about. They played disciplined, worked hard, and fore-checked. We need more of that.

This is really Joe's second year of playing goalie. He's an excellent athlete and is really learning how to do it. Tonight they exposed his weaknesses. But they exposed us because we had someone in the penalty box all night.

Sometimes you run into a hot goalie in hockey. That is just the way this game works.

East Haven is known to have a great power play. As a coach, it's probably the most embarrassing game I've been associated with in 23 years. We had 12 penalties and two were hitting from behind. We were in the box the entire night on ridiculous penalties.
