This team is very focused right now. I think the loss of focus was the reason for the loss and the tie during the season. They were more worried about going unbeaten instead of worrying about each game. But that's certainly not the case now.

I'm not really sure our guys were focused that much on Edwardsville beating us earlier. I think they were actually more motivated to repeat as champions.

I don't think it's anything with Edwardsville in particular, except they seem to get more fired up to play us than we get to play them. It's just one of those things. Sometimes in hockey it's a crazy bounce of the puck that makes the difference.
