We played hard more than anything. We were resilient. We battled. We competed. It was a heavy game, as we thought it would be... I thought our guys did a really good job with the physicality part, grinding, being patient, and not forcing things.
As I said, our captain went out, and I thought that guys, to a man, stepped up. The guys played some real good hockey throughout this time... They are all doing what they need to do to be successful out there.
They were good. Minten scored - I get that - but I thought both players were pretty solid out there... Minten is a very smart player. He is a real good two-way guy.
He was excellent. In the second period, they made a pretty good push and had control of the puck quite a bit in our zone... but he came up big for us. That is big. It keeps you in the game.
