That second period was the whole game. We had a real determined effort in that second period. That's the game, along with some timely saves by Jake (Moreland). |
That was a bad change. With that offense, you just can't give them a goal like that. |
That's a situation where we didn't match up well, and Idaho is a very good team you can't make mistakes against. I never felt we really played well against them. |
That's the way it looks now. The best way to describe Jake is to say he's day-to-day. We hope he can play, but he hasn't practiced in a week. |
That's tough to take, because as a coach I know that we had a great chance to win three games this weekend but couldn't do it. Obviously, we're playing better than we were a few weeks ago, and that's good to see. Now we have to find a way to turn some of these close games into wins. |
That's up to Phoenix, but we're happy to have him here. Heck, he can stay as long as he likes. |
That's what we've been told, so we'll just have to adjust for the weekend. These things happen when you have affiliated players. |
The key thing about Nathan is that he's one of those guys who gets in position to give you an offensive spark. He's been one of our most consistent contributors. |
The players are going to play hard to win these two games for the fans and for the team and themselves. |
The third period was entertaining, but we shouldn't have been in that position. Alaska has too much offense for a team like us to win that type of game. |
They are our closest rival, and the games have been competitive. I know are guys would really like to see what they can do against them at our place. |
They are still the best team in the league in my opinion, and certainly the best team we have played. Their roster is so deep and talented. We have definitely been playing better in recent games, and this will be a real test for us. |
They are very talented and it's a real challenge for us. But we've been playing with more confidence, and I expect that to continue. |
They beat us too, and we have to play well to beat anyone. But we do feel that match up pretty well against these teams, and feel we should have an excellent chance to win. |
They've both come in and helped. Ned is a good shooter and generates offense. Jeff skates well and has helped our defense. |
