Waterloo has had our number. We needed to make a stop and we did.

It takes three games to win the series and we won't win three games tomorrow night. We need to win one game at a time.

There's a reason a best-of-five series takes three to win. We can't win three games (tonight).

But the rest of the team was there. We needed to stop the puck better and we didn't play to our physical capabilities. We didn't play our physical game.

We did a job on killing penalties. This was a solid team effort.

Each team has won this year on the other's ice. Now it is just a race to three wins.

We were controlling the action, but not extending the lead. We played real well the first 40 minutes. The turning point may have been when we gave up the second goal.

We played well. We played for 60 minutes.

If I could do one thing, I'd send him a thank you for making me a better coach. There isn't anything left to chance for him as far as preparation. His physical and mental preparation are second to none.
