I was hoping to weather the first 10 minutes but we came out and controlled play and did the things we needed to do to set the tone for the game.

They came out hungry. They see where we're at in the standings, and they gave it all they had.

I'm very impressed with the determination he put into the work in the off-season to get where he's at. He came into camp with the type of passion and energy that really fit our style. It just seemed like he had grown up and matured and was ready to go full-bore ahead.

It came down to the guys that are going the hardest. We had a five-on-three where I didn't like the determination. We had a three-on-one where we don't get a shot, and part of that was our decision making wasn't very good.
