I didn't like playing against him. He was a competitive, hard-nosed player. He brings a lot of grit and scoring to the table and that's why we got him.

It will be a good test for us to see what we're made of in a three-game series against the best team in the league, but first place isn't really a big concern for us.

It's going to be one heck of a series against Idaho and we're going to have to be charged to go.

The guys are rolling. We played a real good team and I'm glad we rose up to the challenge. We needed to improve against the top teams in the league and tonight was a big step for us.
