I am never afraid to play early on Sunday morning. We always play hard and we always seem to be focused. Today, New Canaan was more focused. We outshot them 2 to 1. In spite of that, we still couldn't seem to finish. Although our actual shots are decent, we never seem to force the opponent's goaltender to move his feet. Our shots were largely unscreened and rebounds were allowed to be passed immediately 'out of harm's way'. We need to continue to shoot, as we've done, but crash the net with more abandon, fight for loose pucks, and finish our plays. The area in front of the net is a WAR ZONE. You have to play like you know it's a war zone. We have to get tougher, take a few shots off our body, and make the goalies 'earn their pay'. We can do better. This was not our year. We will begin immediately to prepare for next year's tournament.
