And this was the toughest schedule we've ever had. |
It definitely didn't feel like a 7-2 game. We knew that (SLUH) was going to come out of the gate hard and they did. I think our penalty killing was pretty good tonight and it certainly was a difference. |
Starting in goal is where it's at. Everything is centered around him. |
The kids had heard it from their peers and the hockey community that this was going to be a down year. We had to sell it to them that we are capable. |
We were never really comfortable with this one, even in the third period. SLUH was still coming at us. Our defensemen really held their ground and the older guys – our juniors and seniors – did a great job of keeping everybody focused. They knew it's playoff time and it's time to step things up. |
