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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
best crowds great hockey played
We always get great crowds here. We played some of our best hockey that weekend.
