afford friday game knew lose lost meant tough
No one had to tell us what this game meant to us. We lost a tough game on Friday and knew we couldn't afford to lose this one.
gives great job looking puck question shoot
Colby and I like to shoot the puck and he does a great job looking to find us. There's no question he gives us a spark.
guaranteed harder seems time top work
We had trouble, myself included, getting pucks through from up top on the 5-on-3s. Every time we have a 5-on-3 should be a guaranteed goal, but at times it seems it's even harder for us. It's something we have to work on.
areas beat bring good loose open passes people physical puck scoring shy skaters speed support
We're all really good skaters who don't shy away from the physical play and bring something to the table. Once we get the puck in deep, we use our speed to our advantage. We beat people to loose pucks, support each other and get into open areas where he can make passes to get those good scoring chances. We just accommodate each other accordingly.
