We knew it would be a rough battle. Once the holiday tournaments came around, we gained a lot of confidence.

The third period was obviously everything we had. The first and second were the worst periods we played all year long.

He was stellar. How many breakaways did he stop? He's been our go-to guy all year long and is one of the big reasons why we got down here in the first place.

Our guys fought back and got the tying goal. You have to give them credit for that.

The referee thought the player that knocked it down was the same guy that put it in the net, but that wasn't the case. That's neither here nor there. It's a done deal.

Going into an overtime session, you get the feeling that it's going to be over in a minute or it's going to go on for a while. It was exciting in some ways, nerve-wracking in others. I was pleased with the boys that they never gave up.
