We put our trust in our key guys and they did the job again.
Saskatchewan has a very good program and they have a tremendous team this year. They have nine tremendous forwards and two very good goalies, so it'll be a good test for us.
We started off a little bit slow in the first period. Saskatchewan came out and were physical. We responded to that in the second period and we stepped up our level of play.
It's halfway there. Maybe later on you can look back on it and enjoy it, but right now, we have bigger fish to fry.
People don't realize how tough this tournament is. It's a tough format, but it's the same for everybody.
If teams are going to be aggressive against us, we want to make them pay.
This isn't the end of our season. We were ready to go and it really showed tonight.
We knew they were going to be a tough team to play against. We respected their team chemistry, their team speed, the way they move the puck. They were very much a reflection of our team.
The third period has always been our best period. This is the reason why we do all the conditioning and all the hard work. We have a lot of leaders in our dressing room and they all know what it takes to win. We were able to get it done.
