He had another solid game for us. He did a fine job for us all year and his entire career.

We came out real flat. We had a good third period and overtime. We peppered their goalie, and he made some big saves.
build coming effort finish forward games hopefully move saturday stretch tough year
We have a tough stretch of games coming up, and hopefully we can build on the effort we put in on Saturday and move forward and finish the year strong.
bus dominated feet legs move overtime period puck second third
I don't know if it was bus legs or whatever, but we didn't move our feet in the first period. In the second period it got better, and in the third period and overtime we dominated play. We just didn't put the puck in the net.
capable challenged couple hope leaders players running seniors step time
I hope a couple of the players step up. I challenged our seniors over the weekend. I told them their time is running out and that they're capable of more. And we are as a team. But we go as our leaders go.
came good period played second seem skated struggled sure together
I'm not sure what it is, but we've really struggled in the second period this year. Overall, we played pretty well. We came out and skated hard. But we just can't seem to put together a good second period. And that's something we need to address.
glaring hopefully mistakes played time together watching younger
After the game, I thought we played all right. But after watching the tape, we didn't play well at all. We made a lot of glaring mistakes that shouldn't be made at this time of the year. And it wasn't just our younger guys. Hopefully we can put it all together for one game.
feeling felt forgot guys hard hockey missing near opens simple sorry themselves
It was simple things ? missing two opens nets from near point-blank range. The guys that did it forgot hockey was still being played. They felt sorry for themselves after missing the open net, and Medford comes down 6-on-4 because they're feeling sorry for themselves. It's hard to take.
couple fed goals good great passing skated skating soft team
They're a very good team. They skated well. We let a couple of soft goals in early, and they just fed off that. They're a great passing team and a great skating team.
hard hard-work seniors work
They've put in a lot of hard work over the years. If I can accommodate the seniors even if it's just going through introductions, I'll do that.
defense rest season
The rest of our season our inexperience at defense was exposed.
against game moved solid somebody tough
Northland Pines will be a real tough game. They've moved up to No. 2 in the state. We need to go out and play hard. Somebody has to lose. If we come out and play a solid game against them and lose, then so be it.
add concerned far fifth four game gave lead loss slip
Add this one to the other four that we gave away. This is the fifth game we let slip away. There's no use sugarcoating it. I know it's a tie, but it's a loss for us as far as I'm concerned when you let a three-goal lead slip away at the end.
conference deserves ended happy hard percentage save season worked
Zach ended the conference season with a save percentage of 90 percent. I am very happy for Zach. He has worked hard and deserves this recognition.
