We weren't happy going down 4-2, the players were visibly upset. Maybe we need to play desperate more often because they really responded.
Mac has been awesome for us. He gave the whole team a shot in the arm. He instills a lot of confidence in our team. He was dedicated to come back here and it shows how much he cares about organization. None of the players want to disappoint him.
The players were getting frustrated and I told them to try to go with the flow.
It went right through the net. The ref said that the net bulged but he wasn't sure whether it was a stick that caused it or not. Their goaltender told our players it went right through the net. That's par for the course the way our luck has been going.
We tried to let things go as long as we could, but it got to the point where the safety of the players became a concern. You've got to think of the players' best interests and not put them in harm's way.
That's hockey players - he played through it and didn't have a second thought about it.
