In the third period, we generated some great scoring chances. It was good to see that we continued to press through the defensive trap set up by the Falcons in the final period. In the past, we would struggle to generate offense when go against the trap.

We just couldn't handle their press and we shot terrible. I thought our shooting and the inability to handle the press were the keys to the game. The first three minutes of the third quarter made a huge difference, too.

Let me castigate the press a moment here. Too often you get into the human aspects of this and you don't get into the scientific stuff that gets into everybody's house all over this country.

I told them to calm down and handle the press. We were a little too cautious.

Despite the bad press, the number of home sales during the October through December period was higher than during the last quarter of 2004, but the small year-to-year increase suggests that some slowing of the market is under way.

We got off to a great start and I'm very happy with the win and the way we played. I give a lot of credit to Wheatfield. They are a hard working team and they never give up. They have a strong work ethic and are very committed to back checking. Their goaltender also played well in the second and third periods.
