blood deserved draw game home huge playoffs sure time toughest win year
The toughest game to win in the playoffs is your first home game. And I'm not sure we even deserved to win the game. But it's a huge win, because every win at this time of the year is big. To draw first blood is really important for us.
games goal key knew lead second tie tonight took whoever wind worked
We wanted to get this game, but it was one of those games where we knew whoever got the lead was going to win. Tonight we never got the lead. The key goal was their second goal. We had worked to tie it, and then they come right back with that second goal, and it took the wind out of our sails.
chance days game goes hard longer next shown worked
It's getting frustrating the longer it goes. I don't think we've shown frustration because we've worked hard and battled through, but it's going to be more so as it goes on. But, we have two days off before our next game (Tuesday at Peoria), which will give us a chance to regroup.

We just have to find a way to win, that's the only thing that's been missing. We've played a number of games like tonight but we haven't had any breaks. Tonight, if we get a bounce, it's 2-0.

It's not about who were playing. It's up to us. We haven't had an easy game all year. We're competing on a nightly basis. We now have to get the results for that competition.

I think everybody was nervous. Josh is part of the team, and if he says he was nervous, I will agree with him.
good happen puts shoot telling
I think he's a little deceiving, because sometimes he doesn't shoot as often as he should. I've been telling him to shoot more, because good things happen when he puts it on net.

I think Milwaukee started to press because they had the momentum but could score. They took some chances, and we created opportunities.
against bit friday happen prepared puck rebounds trying
On Friday against Iowa, I think we were just trying to be too cute. Tonight, I think we were a little bit more prepared to get the puck to the net, and when you do that, you get rebounds and can make things happen that way.
easy great job knew opportunity presented time
When this opportunity presented itself, there was no hesitation. I knew this was what I wanted to do. I had a great job where I was, but it was time for a new challenge. It was easy to leave. I jumped at the chance.
