Good win tonight 8-4! Need to work on defense though, especially with Gophs coming to town
Mel's postgame interview:
Good to see Offense, fortunate the goals went in
Guys came ready to play, came out with energy
Guys played harder without the puck, need that every night, need to win 1 on 1 battles
Gordic good goal, Kero was skating well, made some nice plays
Been working on transition play after turnover, took advantage of some miscues and shot to score
Rix's goal was key to the game, beat him 5 hole, huge goal
Tell you a lot that team could answer goal/need a good push back
Did a real good job except first 6 mins of 3rd period
Told assistant coaches, should feel better when win 8-4, back of Mel's mind MN is coming to town next weekend
Winning is important, but it's how you play, need to play the same every night against all team, need to get to that point
Great crowd tonight, good to see '62 team back, had a presentation in locker room today, each Tech player presented the alum with a jersey
We have a big challenge ahead of us next weekend, it'll be a heck of a series,
Kevin did a good job, would like a copule back, but made critical save at key times, goalie is an ongoing battle, really liking our goaltending, 3 guys can play
Coaches talked about getting Jamie in during last 8 mins, but Jamie just has to be patient, he'll be fine, good to have depth
Thanks to Steve Coates for coming from Philly and being on the air
