We went down tonight but we played for 32 minutes. You'd think that playing hard and competing is something that they should be able to do, but it's something that they've got to learn.

I think there are some bumps and bruises out there tonight. Both teams played really hard, and you like to see the kids get after it like that. But, yeah, the kids are going to be hitting the ice bags tonight.

Newcastle played quite defensively, but we had to keep playing and get through in the last 20 minutes, and we managed to do it.

They played great tonight, they really did. I was proud of how hard they played and competed. They gave me everything I could possibly ask.

That's a superior team. We played as hard as we could for 32 minutes, and we just got a little tired at the end. Our intensity and mental toughness was where I'd like it to be.

I don't know if I expected 30. But Mo played tonight the way he's been playing all year. He picked his spots. He scored 30 points on 17 shots and was pretty efficient.
