Gorman was fantastic, coming in cold and making some saves. Our penalty kill was good. and I thought we had everything against us, but the kids fought through it.

I think there's a confidence level with coming home to your own building. I thought the spirit was really good and the practices were upbeat. There was a mission and that was a big thing. They are still on a mission and they know they had to come home and get on a winning streak.

I thought we had some great opportunities later in the game. After the second goal we decided we can play. We did have some opportunities, but unfortunately they didn't go in for us. That's sort of been the year for us. Our last game we lost, 3-2, after hitting the post four times. We're still searching. We're still looking for a consistent lineup.

Laredo is going to be a very, very tough team to face, especially opening the series in their building and with their fans very loud. We are excited to be in the second round, and we are hoping for more.

It was most likely the best night we've given (Gorman) in three or four weeks. He only faced less than 30 shots and when you do that you've got a better chance of keeping your goals against down.

Scotty and his wife were going to give him a middle name after the person who scored the winning goal on Saturday because we were ahead when he was born. But we lost, so I don't know if Gunner has a middle name yet.
