elevated game happy hard turned
I was very happy the way we turned it up in the third. We elevated our game and made it hard for them to do anything.
certainly chemistry forward groups might point scared written
We haven't had much chemistry in our forward groups this year. Certainly at this point nothing is written in stone. Once we get rolling, if we think something else might fit, we won't be scared to make any changes.
came deserve good hard hungry played purpose smart team
We came out and played with a purpose. We played hard and smart for the most part. We know Everett is a good team and they deserve our best. We were pretty hungry all night.
pleased ready start tonight
I was pleased with the start tonight and we will be ready tomorrow.
agreed argue blew given net referee whistle
On the explanation given to me, the referee agreed it went into the net but that he blew his whistle first. I couldn't really see it, so there wasn't a lot I could argue about.
easy good granted gut ice key time
Scott Jackson's an easy gut to take for granted when things are going good because he does everything well. He logs a lot of ice time and he's such a key part of any of our successes.
against ahead behind both chance concerned division games looking ourselves playing teams win
We're looking at things realistically. To even give ourselves a chance at the division we know we have to win both games against Everett. We're much more concerned with how we're playing than the teams ahead of us or behind us.
hold lead
When you have a three-goal lead it should hold up in any building. We've got no excuses.
felt tonight tough won
Tonight is tough to swallow. We felt we should have won this game.
energy game good passion
We just weren't very good in a big game in the standings. It was a very disappointing effort. We didn't play with enough energy or passion tonight.
goal high second
We thought the second goal was a high stick.
constantly force forcing good higher moving pressure skating speed using
We think we're a pretty good skating team, and part of that is forcing turnovers and constantly moving your legs. That's what makes us successful. We've been using our speed to force turnovers and play a higher pressure game.
areas both concerned game generally guard offensive team time
We're not perfect, but there are a lot of areas in our game that are much improved. We generally aren't a high-powered offensive team, so we have to be concerned in both ends. At this time of year, when every team has a lot to play for, you can't let your guard down.
four guys heart help strong team
We wanted to play with heart and play smart. We wanted to be strong as a team defensively, to give our four guys as much help as we could.
