Obviously, the fact that we were able to keep it out of our net on the penalty kill was a big factor in the game, especially with how many penalties we took. Other than that, I thought we played a pretty good game defensively.
Even in the third period, I didn't think we gave up very much. They got the one behind Sammy there, but I thought we played patient. We didn't give up much off the rush. This team does a lot of damage on the rush, and we managed that very well.
It is a cool moment for a guy who does a lot of the grunt work for us. He is a competitor and does whatever the game calls for. Getting the opportunity and making good on it is a nice moment for him.
Really glad it was Mitch on the ice. That processor works at a pretty high rate of speed. He was able to process all of that real quickly. It was very alert by Bert as well to get off. That was good awareness.
I will take it even further. That was a funky moment, but we had a line change before that. To me, that was the reason why the game ended the way that it did. Their guys couldn't get off. It was going to be our third rotation through, and they still had their first guys out there.
