It is a distraction of sort, but nothing that could affect the game. |
We knew we were up against a great goal scorer. We had to keep another guy in the back of the field to make sure (Boudreau) didn't get any steps from us. And from what I saw, he didn't. |
We played them before (tied 1-1 in mid-December) and I knew if we got one goal we could add another defender back. We man-marked No. 2 (Roark) and did not allow him to penetrate and our defenders did an outstanding job and held them off late. |
