absolute best call deserve head knee league players playoffs shot
I want him suspended. I want him fined. I'll come to the hearing. I haven't called the league once; I'll call them 10 times tomorrow. If you go knee on knee and take a shot at a guy's head at the same time, you don't deserve to be in the game. We're going to the playoffs and you're going to take out of our best players because you couldn't take a hit? That's a joke, that's an absolute joke.

He drove on Hecht, took out his knee, went after his head. It's a joke, an absolute joke. Watch the video and you'll see it.

We have to continue to grind away. The energy level of our team isn't great. We're mucking through it.

We got scored against on the few chances we gave up. We only got scored against because maybe we were too aggressive. That same aggressiveness won us the game. We dominated the third period, gave up one shot, and we didn't look back.

We expected to be a good team, but nobody expects something like this.

It would've been tough to stand here and explain to you guys why they had our number if we would've lost again. It's satisfying.
