I think it's going to be a great series. I think both teams are looking forward to it a little bit. I think you'll see real good hockey.
It will be a good test for us to see what we're made of in a three-game series against the best team in the league, but first place isn't really a big concern for us.
It's good for the guys to be a part of that, but we'd trade every one for a championship.
The guys are rolling. We played a real good team and I'm glad we rose up to the challenge. We needed to improve against the top teams in the league and tonight was a big step for us.
They're well coached, they've got good character guys and they've got good talent. I see some similarities to us, but I don't know about well coached.
They've all bought into our system and they're seven hard-working guys committed to playing defense and trying to help us win. They're a huge part of this team. We're almost as good defensively as we are offensively.
They take losses pretty hard, and they want to rebound well. That's the sign of a good character team, that they don't lose back-to-back.
They've got good character, a lot of skill and a lot of depth. They're a real solid hockey team, from top to bottom.
We were terrible tonight. We got outworked, and when they scored that first goal, mentally we got weak. We got down and I haven't really seen that from this team. It's a little adversity for us and that's good. They're a very good hockey team.
We've got a big one (tonight). We have to be prepared, because (Utah) has beaten us a few times. Utah could be a team we play in the first round of the playoffs, so we have to show we can hang with them. They're a good hockey club, a lot like Alaska.
