Question: With 12 games remaining and playoff position on the line, every game is pretty much classified as a “must-win.” Is your approach as a coach and the team’s mentality right now that these are playoff games right now?
Morris: We’ve actually felt like we were in “playoff” games since about Christmastime when we realized we had a lot of ground to make up to really be competitive. We realize that we are an exceptionally young team – we have zero veterans playing for us and we’re allowed five. When we lost Jon Klemm and Peter Harrold on the back end it left a huge hole. Losing their steady defensive play has caused a lot of the younger defenseman to be thrown out into the fire and we’ve had moments of being very good and also a lot of inconsistent play that has really cost us.
