For the last five games it seemed like every time he had a good opportunity, he'd hit a post or hit a butt end. You keep working and good things happen. It took a few games for the worm to turn, but it finally did for him. |
He does so many things well - he passes the ball, clears the ball, helps [defensively] and can score when given the opportunity. He can do anything and everything we ask of him. |
He's one of those guys nobody likes to play against. |
I always love the challenge of playing a defending champion. Anytime you can beat them, it will send a message through the league. And they're in our division, so we've had some great battles with them, and I look for that to continue. |
I'm not mad at their effort. |
It was a very frustrating game all around. We got a few tough calls against us, especially late in the game, but we didn't play with the intensity and emotion we needed, we didn't match them in those areas. And as a result we got beat. |
It's very tough to get clean looks on him, and even when you get clean looks he plays the angles so well it's hard to score on him. |
Johnny and Jason worked together for three years in Buffalo . . . so we were very happy to get Jason back. |
Johnny takes it all in stride and we're having a lot of fun with it. |
Nobody likes to play against him. He absolutely clogs the middle. |
Steve hasn't had a bad game this year. |
The offence has been stifled (in all three losses this season) and I'm not sure why. Our offence gets really tight really quick and tries to hurry things. Hopefully, we can correct that Saturday. |
The stats have been going down every year. Each year it gets better and better. Now we get to see how it will work out in the playoffs. |
The way the league's going right now, the winner of our division might even be 9-7. |
There were times we lost our focus and you just can't do that during the playoffs if you expect to win a championship. But years from now when I remember this game I'll think it was 20-0. The important thing is move on. |
