Gary Defina Quotes

You're not going to stay unbeaten forever. That's for sure. But that didn't give them any championships. I'd rather lose one now to that team than lose to them later. - Gary Defina

We were a little flat tonight. We came out all right in the first, got a couple of goals right off the bat. We didn't play our best game and we know it. They were saying at the end of the first period, even though they had a 3-0 lead, that they didn't play very well. It was good enough against a bad team and we'll take the win. - Gary Defina

We played terribly that weekend. We've always had a solid rivalry with them. The kids have always had a good rivalry with them. We're going to come out to play, for sure. They've played well. They crushed Liberty (Friday), 7-1. The kids know they have to play better than today. - Gary Defina

They worked hard when they needed to. (Liberty) is obviously struggling. These guys did what it took to beat that team. - Gary Defina

They buried their chances and we didn't. We hit a post, a crossbar, and had a goal called back. Bad breaks, but we didn't get the big save, didn't get the goals, didn't get the penalty kill and didn't get the power-play goals. - Gary Defina

The kids know and they are focused. Every game is do or die. We've just got to play better every game. - Gary Defina

That's the way kids will think when you are down like that. You try to tell them to take it one shift at a time, one goal at time, but, you know, we didn't get it done. - Gary Defina
