“Nobody panicked. That's what I like about this team. We're an older team and we've got a lot of guys who have been through that. We got a goal right away and our special teams did a heck of a job.”
Ian Laperriere
“Neither team panicked. They both played like championship-caliber teams all the way through. ... Everyone's told me that they're so scrappy, and I totally agree.”
Bill Hawkins
“We panicked a little bit after that spurt. We took some shots that were uncharacteristic of our team, and they got some easy ones on the other end.”
Jim Frederick
“I think we panicked a little bit. We told the guys if we were down five or up three, you still had to stick to the game plan and for the most part we did.”
Joe Muniz
“These guys never panicked. Even when they were down, they never did panic. We knew we could come out and play.”
Royce Huseman
“We sprayed the ball a lot, but you could tell their guys were never in a panicked situation, where they felt like they really needed to get the out. They looked relaxed.”
Daryle Ward
“Both teams played well. Their three-point shooting made it a close game, but we never panicked.”
