Sure, we came back at them, but we just didn't play the way we needed to in the second period and it cost us again. You can't spot any team four goals.
We couldn't find anyone, and the team knows Dave from the times he's skated with us. You hope in this situation that Dave doesn't have to play, and the plan is to have Jeff play the entire weekend.
We set the 20-win mark a week or so ago, and we can still make it if we play well down the stretch. The team has embraced the idea.
We've skated a man short in our lineup lately, and Jeff helps us fill that void. He brings an added dimension of grit that will complement our team in the area of toughness.
When you see a team several times in a short time span, that can happen. You have two teams who play hard-hitting aggressive hockey.
The players are going to play hard to win these two games for the fans and for the team and themselves.
Reading is unusually large for a team in this league, but it has been a problem.
That's a situation where we didn't match up well, and Idaho is a very good team you can't make mistakes against. I never felt we really played well against them.
They are still the best team in the league in my opinion, and certainly the best team we have played. Their roster is so deep and talented. We have definitely been playing better in recent games, and this will be a real test for us.
