We’ve been on the better side of those five games and it’s a team that’s desperate, fighting for any point at the bottom. We’ve been there and we know what that feels like… We knew this was going to be a battle. Not the forty we wanted to start with, but the 20 we wanted to end with. At the end of the day, we have Aerin Frankel standing on her head and our leadership group really put the puck in the back of the net.”
