bit bullet eight five fortunate gives goal hit matter minutes period points post seven sort storm survived team third three twice
It (was) just a matter of each team sort of weathering the storm at different points in the game, ... We were fortunate with about seven or eight minutes to go in the third period they hit the post twice or three times in one shift. So we sort of survived a bullet there and were able to get that goal under five minutes and it gives you a little bit of momentum.
felt good penalty period third
After we killed the first two off, things were going really well. I felt if we got to the end of first period killing that third penalty off we'd be in real good position.
came capitalize close ends game games hard last meaning month next night played playoff puck score teams third tight trying weekend whatever
In the first game, the puck went in real quick. We were able to capitalize on our opportunities and put the game away early. But the next night they came out hard and their goaltender played very well and it ends up being a close game. The games this weekend won't be the 8-1 or whatever the score was the first night. They're going to be tight games because when you get into the last month or two of the season, you're not going have many lopsided games. Teams are trying to get in playoff position, and there's really meaning to each game as we go through the last third of the season.

If I had to open up a new third grade tomorrow, I couldn't do it, ... I don't have the room.

I've seen growth every year on our side. We've done things this year that we didn't do last year. It's building ... we'll just keep doing the things we're doing. If we do that, the support will continue to improve, as it has in the past three or four years.

These were people much like you and I. What is it in humanity that allowed it to happen?
challenged game linger period second team wrap
The second period was real big for us, because it kind of put the game out of reach. I challenged the team to come out and play like we wanted to win. It was kind of an 'eye of the tiger'-type thing where we ... let the other team know that we wanted to wrap it up and not let this thing linger on.

group last learned learning next pushed took year
Sometimes those learning situations, when you're going through them are difficult, but when you look back, are meaningful. Because the group that took part in it last year learned from it and pushed it through this year to the next step.
