Going into the game it was a holiday weekend. That did effect who could play, who came out and who we had in net. We were not the only team that day struggling to get people to show up.

There isn’t a lot of time to dwell on this game. Which is probably a good thing. We play again Wednesday. We have the opportunity to bounce back. This game can pretty much be chalked up to it was a holiday weekend and players not being able to make it hurt us overall. I think we can beat them.
