But the rest of the team was there. We needed to stop the puck better and we didn't play to our physical capabilities. We didn't play our physical game. |
Each team has won this year on the other's ice. Now it is just a race to three wins. |
If I could do one thing, I'd send him a thank you for making me a better coach. There isn't anything left to chance for him as far as preparation. His physical and mental preparation are second to none. |
It takes three games to win the series and we won't win three games tomorrow night. We need to win one game at a time. |
Matt is one of the best human beings you would ever hope to meet. It feels good to see him getting the recognition. |
There's a reason a best-of-five series takes three to win. We can't win three games (tonight). |
Waterloo has had our number. We needed to make a stop and we did. |
We did a job on killing penalties. This was a solid team effort. |
We don't bring anything that puzzles anybody. I don't think you can look over a six-game stretch and say this is why we won or lost. To me, it comes down to making a play. I thought our goaltending saved us. |
We made a play in the third period that gave us the win. Tonight, it was two great hockey teams playing as hard as they can. We got a break. Otherwise, the game could have went either way. We'll count our blessings and get on the bus. |
We played well. We played for 60 minutes. |
We were controlling the action, but not extending the lead. We played real well the first 40 minutes. The turning point may have been when we gave up the second goal. |
