Obviously if we had beaten Medford, it would have been hard for them to be seeded above us. It might still be hard for them.
Zach ended the conference season with a save percentage of 90 percent. I am very happy for Zach. He has worked hard and deserves this recognition.
I thought we did a nice job on the penalty kill tonight. We got a lot of different people in. We had a few penalties, but they were aggressive penalties ? hard-working penalties.
I thought we played a solid first period. We played a solid game all-around.
We have a tough stretch of games coming up, and hopefully we can build on the effort we put in on Saturday and move forward and finish the year strong.
We did a lot of good things. That's why it's so hard to swallow. We did enough good things to win.
That was some of the best hockey we played was earlier in the year. I hope we get back to that because we've been struggling lately. I thought we had a good effort at Lakeland (in a 5-1 loss last Tuesday), but we're still capable of playing better hockey.
That was a good game for us on the road. We played decent hockey, but we're capable of playing much better. We gave up a lot of odd-man rushes against Medford.
Looking at the numbers and common opponents, we should match up well against them. If we can get a win against Hayward, it would be a confidence-boost for us, and that's what we need right now.
We came out real flat. We had a good third period and overtime. We peppered their goalie, and he made some big saves.
