We had balanced scoring. All four lines were very effective. It was a great team win for us.

They're all players who can take us to that next level.

It was our feeling that when the opportunity to acquire Eddie Neville was presented to us, it was a trade that we had to make.

The last two games we played them, they are 1-for-11 (on the power play) on us.

I like our chances against Des Moines, I really do. I think we match up well. We're not playing an opponent that had their way with us. We were pretty darn even with them.

We played even with a great team in the second and third periods. But Omaha is a team that plays with a great desire to win for a full 60 minutes. We didn't do that.
