“We were really trying to create more opportunities with our one front line, but Bob Kaplan just kept them in the game because he is just a really special hockey player.”
“I thought it was a well-played game by both teams. We got off to a sluggish start but our kids hung in there and were able to come back but it wasn't quite enough. Their goalie played great but we hurt ourselves especially on the power play where we struggled.”
“People have been talking about him since he was a freshman. I never had any conversations with him about it (before this year). He actually came up to me at the beginning of the school year. We got talking about the possibilities about coming here. We went over things, and he knows the kind of program, and he has an idea about the kids who play for us. It was by fate, really, that he came here.”
“His attitude has been terrific. (Glynn, an assistant captain, and Nanavati) have handled it perfectly. They both played last year and pretty much split their duties. Their attitudes have been terrific. They understand that. Without that positive attitude, I don?t think we are going to have the same success.”
“That second goal was big for them because I thought we were outplaying them but they kill off the penalty and then come down and score and it took a lot out of us.”
