He gives us good depth along the blue line. We didn't think a player of his caliber was going to be available. We knew him from our games (against Quad City).
It felt like a playoff game out there. I thought we played well in the first two periods, then made one or two mistakes. The shoe could've been on the other foot and the guys have nothing to be ashamed of. We learned a lot from this one.
Saturday is just one of those games you have to forget about. You can't let that effect your performance in your next game. That's something we've been doing better of late.
It's been an evolution since our first game in Missouri. We were definitely an expansion team in that sense. We played with the chemistry in the room all season, trying to get the right parts. We just wanted to get in the playoffs to give us a chance.
