They'll be up. The kids have been resilient and worked hard all year. Cedar Rapids is a very good hockey team, and it's a great rivalry.

We have to take care of our own business. If we don't take care of our own business and are hoping for misfortunes for other teams, we're going to be out of it sooner, rather than later.

It was a factor, no doubt. But that's just an excuse, and we have to find ways to win. We were short-handed and banged up, and we have to find ways to get points.

To get up three on a team that's battling for the playoffs themselves is big.

The future is so bright for Isak. Whether we have him back here a year from now or not is still in question. Based on the way he is playing, probably not.

If he doesn't make some of the saves he made, we probably lose 5-2. Joe won the game. We've talked about having a goaltender win games for us all year long, and he won the game by himself tonight.

It's a big one. It's going to take a tremendous effort.
