They are a very good team with a couple of great players in (Tyson) Christie and (Adam) Phillips. They're well-coached, tough and physical. We knew it would take a great effort to have a chance.

I thought Connor handled the situation with great poise, and he did not force anything. Our other guys did enough to win.
