best confident five four guy identity score teams
Kipper is a confident guy right now back there and, defensively, they're one of the best teams in the league. Their identity is they're not going to score four or five goals, they're going to score two or three, but it's going to be enough to win.

I think that our guys did a great job blocking them out. It was a good 60 minute effort from everybody and that's what we need. Hopefully in the second half of the season we are going to have this every game.

We felt like we had them where we wanted them.

We just have to climb, climb, climb and build that toughness. And right now, it's more the mental toughness we need to build.

We've got to throw this one out of the window and forget about it.
