attack excellent great hard season shots skate tough win
They are a great team. I've said all season that they are tough to beat. And they showed why tonight. They attack the net, skate hard and get a lot of shots and that's how they win games. They're an excellent team.
believe far games ready series sunday win work
This series is far from over. We have things to work on and we will be ready to go Sunday night. We need to get refocused and believe that we can win two games in a row.
defense four game guys heart poured soul three
Our defense was big tonight. With Mitch out we only had three or four guys rotating on defense all night. They really poured their heart and soul into this game tonight.
great
That was a great goal. He faked me out, too.
buried came chances few figured finally kicked lose period playing possibly relaxed second slow stepped
We came out so slow and so relaxed I think finally it got to a few of the guys. We finally figured out that if we keep playing like this, we're going to lose the game. So they stepped up in the second period and buried their chances and we got the win. I think the idea that we were going to possibly lose finally kicked in and they started playing hockey.
came flying hockey job penalty smart staying
We came out flying tonight. The most important thing, which we've been doing a much better job with, was staying away from penalties. If we play good, smart hockey and stay out of the penalty box, we're going to win.
area crash great job net neutral passing rebounds scoring work zone
We did not play our neutral zone very well tonight. We need to work on our passing in that area and we need to work on rebounds. Alton does a great job scoring off rebounds and we need to crash the net like they did tonight.
hard key power worked year
We've worked on our power play very hard all year long. It's been key for us.
defenders ice middle position
Our forwards were out of position and our defenders were in the middle of the ice and we got beat. It wasn't pretty.
beat finish ice love momentum
That's huge. We know we can beat them and they know we can beat them and I love not having a day off in between so we can get right back on the ice and finish it while we have the momentum from this game.
credit dirty hard kids plays
They play hard, but they play dirty, too. You have to give those kids credit for how hard they play the game, but they make a lot of dirty plays out there and they made some more tonight.
bunch group guys love special tight
This is a special group of guys. They are a tight bunch of guys that love to play together.
goal good shots stop tough
Our goalies did a good job. It's just tough to stop 32 shots on goal in a game.

He had a great game. He didn't have his best game in game one, and gave up four goals, but he had one of the best games I've seen in a long time today.
