It was a physical game, and we weren't expecting that. We didn't play our best game, but we got out with the win, and I guess that's all that matters.

I missed a breakaway earlier in the game, and I knew that if I got another chance, I'd have to make it count. It was just a lucky break, actually.

I was surprised at how skilled their defensemen were, and we weren't ready for that offense.

We want to get the post involved a lot more. We've got a lot of guys who can play down low so we want to make sure we get it in to our big guys and let them do their work.

It was really hard, I had to play smart. The guards did a good job of getting me the ball in the right positions.

The one thing we wanted, almost as much as to get to the championship, was to play Bismarck again, and it felt good to beat them.
