against break chip loose pressure puck style sustain team time tough
We have a (heck) of a time against this team. It's their style. If there's a loose puck in their D zone, they don't break it out; they just chip it out, so they're a real tough team to sustain pressure against.
desire full great omaha played plays second team third win
We played even with a great team in the second and third periods. But Omaha is a team that plays with a great desire to win for a full 60 minutes. We didn't do that.
beaten hat last played team time tip
They battled. They're in last place in our division, but they've beaten every team in the USHL. They play hard, and they never quit. I have to tip my hat to them; every time we've played them this year, they've played us hard.
balanced four great lines team win
We had balanced scoring. All four lines were very effective. It was a great team win for us.
final good happened happy loss mean moral omaha periods played playing team
There are no moral victories, because a loss is a loss. Just because we're playing a good team like Omaha and we played well in the final two periods doesn't mean that we should be happy about what happened out there.
games good literally room stumble teams
We don't have a lot of room that we can stumble in. The good thing is that we do play each of those teams which makes those games literally crucial.
definitely feeding team
Our team is definitely feeding off (Neville's) play in the net. He's done everything and more from what we could've expected.
battle call difficult fight goals lead quick soft team uphill
They got out to quick 2-0 lead with what I would call two soft goals, and it was an uphill battle all night. They know how to play with the lead, and they are a very difficult team to fight back from once your behind.
glad god hope team
They are a very frustrating team to play against. I'm glad we're done with them. I hope to God we don't see them in the playoffs.
league limited team
They are the highest-scoring team in the league and we limited them to one goal.
against arm eddie goal major shot team
One goal against a team like that is what Eddie Neville is all about. He's been a major shot in the arm for our team, and he's been a major confidence-booster for us.
finished scoring
Sometimes they go in, and sometimes they don't. The thing is, we finished our scoring opportunities.
learned lose playoff progress ready sight willing
We've made a lot of progress this year, and we can't lose sight of that. We learned a lot about what to do and what not to do (against Omaha). That's playoff hockey, and we have to be ready and willing to compete.
hard played proud
I was proud of our kids' effort. We played very hard and played right down to the end.
