We got a chance to talk to Coach Scott McConnell, and hear some of his thoughts on the two games.
“Thursday night we played 50 minutes of hockey the way that we wanted to play. Towards the end, we got a little undisciplined in the game and when that happens we either take penalties or give up chances. I was proud of the way we reacted to the adversity and how we were able to finish it off in overtime. Saturday we played probably the most complete hockey game we have all year. Our defense did a great job of denying the middle of the ice. Most of the shots we gave up were from the outside of the dots. Sakellaropoulos did a great job of swallowing the puck and not allowing second chances. It’s not a very easy building to play in, and we stuck together all 60 minutes and pulled out a win.”
Here is Larissa on Steel TV with our full weekend recap: This weekend the Steel are at home both Saturday and Sunday.
