Chris Cichocki Good Quotations

Mike's a good skater with quick hands, and he's one of those guys who has the natural ability to be in position to score. One of his main strengths is following his own shot. He's great at being in position to get the rebound and put it in the net.

I thought he was a very good skater with skills, and I like his work ethic. He's one of the first guys here every day.

That's tough to take, because as a coach I know that we had a great chance to win three games this weekend but couldn't do it. Obviously, we're playing better than we were a few weeks ago, and that's good to see. Now we have to find a way to turn some of these close games into wins.

Whenever you have success against a team, it helps you a little bit, because there's proof you can get it done against them. You definitely go in thinking you have an opportunity to beat them but only if you bring your best game. This is a very good team.

I've always said that Jake is one of the best goalies in this league, and I think deserves this. We don't have a winning record, but Jake is respected in this league, and everyone knows how good he is.

They've both come in and helped. Ned is a good shooter and generates offense. Jeff skates well and has helped our defense.

That's a situation where we didn't match up well, and Idaho is a very good team you can't make mistakes against. I never felt we really played well against them.

It was a great win, and the crowd was wonderful. It was a good night.

It's good news, but I think it's best to let Jake rest and let Jeff go out there on Wednesday. It's the safe thing to do.

It's been an odd trip, and you normally don't have this type of wait between games. We've had a couple of very good practices.
