We did a good job in the neutral zone. We allowed them to dump 50-50 pucks into the zone as opposed to using their speed to turn our defense.

Part of it was the knee and part of it (was) they did a good job. They had their zone, which was very hard for me to attack and get in the red zone.

You won't have the neutral zone bottled up anymore,

The kids did an exceptional job at trying to slow a very high-powered, skilled and fast Tri-Town offense. I think, on this night, our kids had it in their heart we were going to lay it all on the ice.

We kept pressing. We haven't shut the engines off until the last buzzer all season. It worked for us today.

We can play better. But I think we've established a pretty good balance to our game and the kids believe in the system.
