Dean Berardo Quotes

We stunk defensively, plain and simple. - Dean Berardo

We didn't play near our capabilities. It's a bad excuse, but we don't seem to play well late at night (it was a 9 p.m. game). Basically, we got our rear ends kicked. We left people open in front of the net, and they beat us up physically. - Dean Berardo

Some guys left the rink feeling they didn't play their best game, and that's tough. It didn't happen. We didn't get in synch. All year we've had a tough time when we don't score the first goal. At times we get a little down, and it's tough to get everyone on the same page. We would have loved to get to the semifinals, so that's disappointing. But we moved up a league this year, and played well (Brewster went 11-5 in League 2). Four of our losses were by one goal. So overall, the kids shouldn't be disappointed. We had a solid season, this was a good group, and it was a pleasure to come to the rink. - Dean Berardo

All three games have been great games. I think we finished real strong. After we cut it to one in the second, we really took over the game. There was a lot of intensity on the bench, and everyone was working hard. I was concerned when we went down 2-0, but we didn't get down, we stayed with it. - Dean Berardo
