I thought well played well offensively. In order for us to go anywhere we have to play good team defense, we give up way to many open shots.

We came out flat in the third quarter. We didn't play good defense and couldn't put the ball in the hole.

You can play defense as long as you are aggressive and forcing, and I thought we did a good job of that in the first half of the game and not so much in the second. We had a lot of penalties, and I think that kind of reared its head in the third period because we looked a little tired. We fell behind 2-0, and a lot of that we did on our own, and we have to correct that to even the series on Thursday.

I thought it would help to slow them down. I thought it was the best defense for us to play, and I thought we did a good job.

I know Jon had 38 points and they had 73 points, but I thought we played great defense. It was a great team effort.

In the second half, we played better defense. And the defense started the offense. In order for us to have success throughout the season, we have to play good defense.
