He was kind of like our team against Vancouver. He got points, but I don't think he had some of his better games of the year. It's typical of what we did.
I was hoping to get wins early because I knew it would get harder later. Then we lost the first two. I think the team did a pretty good job. Our biggest fear was the health of our team, and we got banged up. That's fairly typical when you play that many games in that many days.
We didn't have a specific plan to stop him. We just talked about how as a team they can really score.
This team has learned over the last three years that things can swing and move quickly. The fact that we lost seven in a row earlier in the season shouldn't haunt us, but it does provide a really sharp, bold reminder that things can turn very quickly.
This is a mystery year for us. It's pretty rare in this league when the core of your team is 17, and that's what we have. We have the potential to have a lot more skill and score a lot more goals this season.
