The Comet ice hockey team was able to stay with the Lakota
East Thunderhawks throughout the game, but collapsed in the third period for a
6-2 loss.
Head coach Seth Knudsen said that he was proud of the team
effort, that is, until the last ten minutes.
“I felt, in the first 35 minutes, we outplayed them,”
Knudsen said. “We had them on the ropes, we just couldn’t get the puck past the
goalie, then we kind of fell apart [in the third].”
Knudsen also said that they took too many bad penalties to
remain competitive in the game.
“Penalties are going to happen, but you always want them to
be penalties that take away scoring chances.” Knudsen said. “We weren’t very
smart, and we’ve got to correct that… or we’re not going to be successful.”
Knudsen also said that they need to reinforce fundamentals
to clean up occasional sloppy play.
“We’ve just got to reinforce what’s important and why we do
it.” Knudsen said. “Part of it is that we rely on our
defense to create offensive chances, and when you do that, sometimes you have
to roll the dice.”
