We actually played some of the toughest teams in the state and I think we opened the eyes of some of the higher-seeded teams. |
We came on strong in the third period. We pulled together and showed a lot of heart. We just ran into a hot goalie. |
We had guys in different spots and those guys did a heck of a job for us. |
We haven't seen them yet this season. We're going to prepare with what we've done in practice. We'll go into battle with that and just see how it goes. |
We kind of fell in a rut with the penalties. They were what I called 'lazy penalties' where we don't want to go out and work hard. |
We knew Mitchell was going to come out strong. That has been their game plan all year. On the other side, we came out struggling and were a little flat-footed. |
We were down a couple of guys and had to fill in some players. We played pretty good. I was really pleased with tonight, other than that first period. It was a nice win for us before we go to Pierre. |
We're still struggling with the first period and I don't know what to do about that. But obviously we were able to regroup in the second period. |
