That was a big goal. But actually I thought we played fairly well in the first period being down only 1-0 to a team like Denver. It was, in a weird way, kind of a confidence builder.

He actually got a shutout the last game he played and has played very, very well. He's been playing great all year. This was not a rare performance for him.

The guys have really been working hard for a while, and we were due for something big and it doesn't get any bigger than this against such an unbelievable program.

Our findings suggest the soil part of the equation is scarier than we had thought. The consequence is that there is more urgency about doing something.

He was pitching against a team that was very focused and I thought they did a real good job of hitting the pitches where they were thrown. They didn't come out of their shoes on anything and kept a very, very solid base,

Everything was actually very close in line where we thought it would be.
