This was the game we HAD to win. Losing today, to New Canaan, takes us out of the running for the 2003 Championship. I was probably more disappointed in my performance today, than I was in yours. I really thought I could have been much more emotional and supportive of all your efforts than I was. I'll play this one over in my mind for some time. Obviously, the presence of their two defensemen, absent from our game in New Canaan, made a big difference. Playing on our own surface, in the early morning, should have helped us a little more than it did. I usually count on a highly emotional effort in this particular game. And, as I said, I really felt that I didn't supply the necessary example. I'm sure we'll move on -- and, rededicate our collective efforts for our season ending trip to FINLAND. I'll work harder.

Sure you feel better and you sleep better when you win. But there's nothing you can do about a game that is over. You can't change it. You can replay it as many times as you want, but the score is always the same. All you can do is learn from it and look ahead to tomorrow.. -- Walter Alston
