We came out and played with a purpose. We played hard and smart for the most part. We know Everett is a good team and they deserve our best. We were pretty hungry all night.
We're not perfect, but there are a lot of areas in our game that are much improved. We generally aren't a high-powered offensive team, so we have to be concerned in both ends. At this time of year, when every team has a lot to play for, you can't let your guard down.
We are an improved team when you add those three pieces into our lineup. All three should fit very well. It certainly gives us much more depth up front. They're older and more experienced guys that are significant pieces to put in right now.
We feel like we're in a position to be really playing our best at the right time of the year. It's nice to have a full team on the ice and we're ready to move forward.
We've had to deal with some significant hurdles. I don't think there's a team out there that has been through as much as we have.
We wanted to play with heart and play smart. We wanted to be strong as a team defensively, to give our four guys as much help as we could.
It was nice to have our whole team on the ice. It was a real sign of us moving ahead.
They're a good team and they played well. We just didn't capitalize on the chances we did have, to give ourselves a chance to win.
