This was a game that had to be won.
We?re still in sixth place. We still have a lock on the sixth playoff spot.
I look at my office and I can count five, six people that coach high school sports. And then there are tons more that coach Little League, AAU basketball. I could roll off a bunch of names easily.
Our guys are hustling; we played well, we scored five goals so that?s a good thing. Penalties hurt us. We had three penalties in the third period. Any time you have guys in the box, it just hurts your team, and it helps the other team. That?s what happened in the third period.
If you look at our games all season long, there?s a lot of third-period wins. These guys stayed out of the penalty box and put the puck in the net. That was the difference.
