Jim Ingram Quotes (9 Quotes)

The guys love playing in front of the home crowd which has been pretty much a packed house each night. It's a great atmosphere, but we need to win on the road too.

I love the way we came out in the first period. But then we had a four-minute power play and only got two shots on goal and in a game like this you just can't do that. We sat back and got complacent and against a veteran team like (the Braves) they'll beat you every time. We have to stay up for the entire game and play with urgency.

He scores goals in bunches so its obvious we're going to need him and everybody else to show up for the next two games.

I think the guys realize what team we need out there to wrap this thing up.

They have a history and tradition of winning in Campbell River and they expect nothing less than to be in this series every year. And that's the type of tradition we're looking to build here. Right now we've got a lot of veterans who just grew accustomed to being knocked out in the first round and we want to change that. We have no illusions this is going to be an easy series just because of the standings. Campbell River expects to win it every year and we need to work hard to show we belong.

There were times when only 10 or 12 guys would show up and go through the motions of a practice. There was no energy and no desire. This was not the place to be.

You can't give any team in this league a moment to regroup. We sat back a little and they came up with two quick goals and all of a sudden we were down. It's going to be like that from here on.
