against capable decent game gave good played playing rushes
That was a good game for us on the road. We played decent hockey, but we're capable of playing much better. We gave up a lot of odd-man rushes against Medford.
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.
behind games handed
This was just one of those games where we got it handed to us. We'll put it behind us, and we'll play better (today).
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.
game played solid
I thought we played a solid first period. We played a solid game all-around.
entire fine game job solid year
He had another solid game for us. He did a fine job for us all year and his entire career.
appreciate crowds finish game good great positive stay tonight upbeat
The crowds have been great for us. They give us a boost, and we appreciate that. We have to stay positive and upbeat and finish this out strong. We need a good game tonight and a good game Thursday.
good hard
We did a lot of good things. That's why it's so hard to swallow. We did enough good things to win.
best capable earlier effort good hockey hope last loss played playing struggling
That was some of the best hockey we played was earlier in the year. I hope we get back to that because we've been struggling lately. I thought we had a good effort at Lakeland (in a 5-1 loss last Tuesday), but we're still capable of playing better hockey.
came good period third
We came out real flat. We had a good third period and overtime. We peppered their goalie, and he made some big saves.
above beaten hard might obviously
Obviously if we had beaten Medford, it would have been hard for them to be seeded above us. It might still be hard for them.
defense great hands heavy high level played player playing possesses year
This was Tony's first year playing defense, and he played at a high level all season. He was always the most-physical player on the ice, and he possesses great hands and a heavy shot.
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.
