locker talked
We talked about it in the locker room.
crowd game goal
We had the crowd out of the game. With that goal they just got back in the game and the place went crazy.
guys step
And we're going to need some of the new guys to step in and contribute.
huge movement power puck
Puck movement is a huge thing, especially on the power play.
bring great happy penalty power special teams time year
We know that it comes down to special teams all the time and we're really happy with how our special teams have been this year. We've always had a great penalty kill and this year we were able to bring our power play up.
crowd definitely
That was definitely tough. That got the crowd back into the game.
came deep flying hit kept neutral puck quick
We came out flying and we kept on them all game. They're a real quick team, so we had to get on them, not give them any space, and clog up the neutral zone. We got the puck deep and hit their defensemen.
control defensive explosive focus keeping key neutral pick stunt tight trying
We'll really focus on our defensive game, keeping it tight like we have been of late. And a big key for us, because they have some explosive forwards, is trying to control the neutral zone. If we can do that, that'll stunt their offense, and pick up ours.
cut middle quickly
I cut to the middle as quickly as I could and got off a shot.
bishop defense good help hockey protect style team turning
We just have do what we have been doing all year: play our style of hockey which is good team defense turning into offense. As long as our forwards come back and help out then we are going to be alright. We just have to protect Bishop and let him see the puck.
goals job knew score
We knew they could score goals. Our job was to not let them.
dressing great knew questions room within
It's a great accomplishment. We started off great this year, had some trouble, and there were lot of questions around about us. But we knew within the dressing room that we had the team, had the talent, just had to put it together.
blessing damage fate feeling hopefully tough waiting
It's a real tough feeling to keep your fate in other teams' hands. But hopefully it is a blessing in disguise. We really want to get in that tournament. We know we can do some damage if we get in there. Right now we're just waiting and hoping.
bit calm good opportunity
We're not too tense. We have a good feeling. This opportunity doesn't come up every day. We're a bit of the underdog. But we know what we're up against. We've got to be calm and relaxed, go out and try to do it.
