That extra output from guys lower in your lineup makes the difference. We have guys on that third or fourth line that can score.
They are a tough team to play. They play . . . physical.
We've been close (in the standings) all year. I don't care if it's one point or 12 points (Cedar Rapids is) still a great team and we are going to have to be at our best to beat them.
We have guys who have good instincts. They know when to lay back and make the safe play.
That's the beauty of junior hockey. You have to show up and compete every night.
Scoring is two things for us - a byproduct of hard work and a byproduct of how we like to play hockey. We like to play up-tempo, puck-pressure hockey. And creating a lot of offense out of that is part of that style of play. It's a lot of (talent) too.
It was just a matter of Chicago being more prepared to play tonight. We've stressed all year that we have to take it game-by-game.
You never want to go 0-5 against one team.
That has to give our guys confidence knowing that we can come over here and get a win.
