There are no moral victories, because a loss is a loss. Just because we're playing a good team like Omaha and we played well in the final two periods doesn't mean that we should be happy about what happened out there.
We had balanced scoring. All four lines were very effective. It was a great team win for us.
Our team is definitely feeding off (Neville's) play in the net. He's done everything and more from what we could've expected.
We played even with a great team in the second and third periods. But Omaha is a team that plays with a great desire to win for a full 60 minutes. We didn't do that.
We have a (heck) of a time against this team. It's their style. If there's a loose puck in their D zone, they don't break it out; they just chip it out, so they're a real tough team to sustain pressure against.
One goal against a team like that is what Eddie Neville is all about. He's been a major shot in the arm for our team, and he's been a major confidence-booster for us.
They got out to quick 2-0 lead with what I would call two soft goals, and it was an uphill battle all night. They know how to play with the lead, and they are a very difficult team to fight back from once your behind.
They are a very frustrating team to play against. I'm glad we're done with them. I hope to God we don't see them in the playoffs.
They are the highest-scoring team in the league and we limited them to one goal.
They battled. They're in last place in our division, but they've beaten every team in the USHL. They play hard, and they never quit. I have to tip my hat to them; every time we've played them this year, they've played us hard.
