There are still things we obviously need to work on, like not playing one bad period and being ready when the first puck is dropped. But tonight we closed out the way we are supposed to.
The key was we finally won the battles in the corners. We were patient, used our depth and speed and finally wore them down.
We started out really quick, using our speed. As soon as they scored the first goal, we went a little flat.
For me personally, maintain the weight I lost over the summer.
When you only get 11 shots, those are tough games, we say that every single time. He had to make a couple of good saves.
A lot of ... bad penalties. Our guys got the lead and then started thinking about getting payback. We gotta learn to play better disciplined hockey.
We always have to respect our opponent. Our guys found out early in the game that they can't take anyone lightly.
A very good series for us against a quality team. They're ranked 10th in the state and to get two wins is very important for us at this stage in the season.
The first period was pretty ugly, we'd been off for almost three weeks - I'm not using that as an excuse, but we were flat-footed. But as the game went on we got stronger and stronger ... I think rolling four lines helps wear down other teams and our guys had the jump to finally get going in the third period.
