They played well, there's no doubt, and they started playing the ball better. I'm not going to deny they played well and I'm proud of them. But the bottom line is we lost. I've been telling the kids they've got to find that killer instinct and we could actually put people away 3-0, 4-0. We had our chances. |
To be honest, this one was pretty close even compared to our other games. Maybe that was because of our young guys, but we were all right. |
We can't be cocky because we're going to a shootout. They've got to do their part. |
We had every chance, and we just couldn't put them away. We were coming at them the whole game, but it's OK. I told the boys it was OK and to keep their heads up, but we've got to work on finishing. That's all there is. |
We shouldn't have even been in that position to start with. The first goal they score, we're still in the game. But after the second one, we were spending the rest of the time trying to put the ball in there in a hurry when we should've been scoring a long time before. |
We're not the same team we were from the first game. I really think it's going to be a different story than the first time. It seems like these kids realize what they did wrong, and they're going to come out and try to fix what they did last time. |
