against guys lead looked missed open period says second size team took wore zone
I think this team wore us down with their size, especially in the second half. We had a period when we got some open looked and missed it. That is when they took the lead and never relinquished it. It says a lot about our guys when a team that size has to play zone against us.

Four games really caught up to them. You could definitely see that in the second half.

You can make a case for 5-6 teams in the conference right now. My main concern right now is to get my team back on track. We've got as good a shot as anybody up there. ... The games are going to be wars. They always are.
