It felt good to have a two-goal game, especially getting the game-winner.
definitely earlier good identity locker period room saying start struggled team treating
We kind of made our team identity and we know what we have to do to be successful. Getting off to a good start is definitely a key. We struggled with that earlier in the year. We've been treating the first period like it's our last; that's what we have been saying in the locker room before the game.

He is very humble, and he listens to everything that you tell him. From the start of the year, I told him that if he made weight, he would be a state champion. He came in with a little something, and we took him to another level.
