We showed up in Bradford unprepared to play, and the result was due to that. We had some early power-play opportunities that we did not capitalize on, and never really were able to get any momentum going.

The loss to Bradford was simply an awful effort on our behalf.

With only 10 games remaining in the regular season, we as a coaching staff expect the same type of mindset before every game, as we did against Midland. The mindset that we can't be beat.

In the Midland game, we were a ticked off hockey club, coming off of a bad loss.

We seem to play with a great sense of confidence when we play at home, where we have only lost twice all season. Against Midland, we won all the loose puck battles and our puck possession game was as good as it's been all season.

Obviously I'm on the outside looking in at this situation, but what I think is the past is really starting to haunt them. They've had so many losing seasons, very few players want to try out for the team. From what I understand, they barely got enough players in this season to hold a formal training camp.

They have fresh talent coming in, but they can't seem to hold onto it for more than one season. They have young players, where I think maybe they should be looking for older players who have more experience at the junior level.

The players preparation and mindset was much better heading into tonight's game.

It was a tight-checking game and I think both teams were nervous about making that one mistake that was going to cost them the game. I think we were holding our sticks a little tight in the early going.

It's been incredible. We have fans standing six deep in the corners of the rink. It's been unbelievable.
