beginning certainly half needed played urgency
Their goalie certainly played well, but we did not have the urgency we needed at the beginning of the game. For the first half of that game, we did not have the urgency that we needed. You've got to play like that for 60 minutes.
extremely played worked
We just played smart, worked extremely hard. We did the little things we were working on, we did them well and we had success.
continue expect far happy learn obviously win
It was far more interesting than we wanted, but we're happy we got two points. We obviously can't continue to play like that and expect to win our games, so we're going to have to learn our lesson.
battle game
The big thing is that we have to get our two points. We're in a battle here and every game is important.
anybody expect fight
Anybody you play is going to be a battle. We expect (Quad City) to give us a fight for our lives.
happened last win
Obviously, we didn't (envision a 0-2 deficit). We thought we were going to come out and play like we should play the first two games, and we have not. If you don't, you're not going to win and that's what has really happened over the last two games.
hard obviously weekend
This was a hard weekend on us. We obviously didn't give enough. We have to get back on track.
discipline early lack late playing saved
What killed us early was a lack of discipline and what saved us late was playing with discipline.
cleaning good help
I think it's going to do a lot of good for the city. I think that it's going to help out by cleaning up the houses, some of the streets.
against obviously players track
To get back on track against Adirondack, obviously our rival, we had to come up big. I think some of our players responded and did come up big.
bit center happy help playing role team
He's been playing center a little bit lately, so he can take any role I want to give him. He's just happy to do anything to help the team win.
turn
What else could we do but turn it up. We did and now we're still in the series.
composure discipline game hard maintain
We've got to maintain our discipline and we've got to maintain composure (today in Game 2). We've got to come out and play hard for 60 minutes.
bad discipline focus lose lost plan stick time year
We lost our discipline and we lost our composure, and at this time of year you need that. You can't lose focus of what you're doing. If something bad happens, you've got to stick to the plan and keep working.
