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.
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.
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).
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.
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.
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.
best crowds great hockey played
We always get great crowds here. We played some of our best hockey that weekend.
game played solid
I thought we played a solid first period. We played a solid game all-around.
cameron five gotten maybe people putting satisfied tyler vote
I thought so. I thought putting five on was good. I thought maybe Tyler Cameron could have gotten a vote here or there, but I was satisfied with five people on there.
business coming hard hope knowing match next players playoffs work
I think we match up very well with them. I hope the players are all business tonight, knowing the playoffs are coming up and knowing we match up well with our opponent. We'll work real hard the next week-and-a-half.
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.
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.
against common looking match numbers win
Looking at the numbers and common opponents, we should match up well against them. If we can get a win against Hayward, it would be a confidence-boost for us, and that's what we need right now.
