Jason Smith Game Quotations

I felt awful. Especially when the game ended the way it did.

He (Rees) is not the quickest guy in the world and he is not overly skilled. His tactics to try and make an impact in the game are to try and put the players from the other team off as best he can.

I think today was a good indication of what our season has been like. This game was up-and-down. I saw San Diego State coming at me with a double team, and I don't think I handled it very well.

We are going to have to go out there and have a perfect game and play our hearts out.

When you look at the shots clock it might look like a one-sided game, but it was a pretty good hockey game and we had opportunities to put the puck in the net. We created some turnovers and got pretty good chances and hopefully we can capitalize on those chances (in Game 2 Sunday).

We're very disappointed the way the game went. We talked about being ready, about being focused and coming out and executing well. We didn't do that. We need to be better right from the start of the game.

It's just a new game when you go to the tournament; you just have to go in there and play.
