Interview With The Captain, “We lost focus on the little things”

Notes from the regular post-w/e interview with Colbert on TEAM 1200/Dave Gross and Garry Galley.

[paraphrasing] What did you think of the Knights? We lost focus on the little things that we had talked about before the game to do against them. I don’t think that we got more than 2 or 3 good shots on them. As soon as we passed the red line, they shut us down. The puck seemed to land in front of one there wingers streaking down the ice. We haven’t seen this before.

We have to put this behind us. We’ve got two big division games with Belleville coming up, then Kitchener and Brampton which will be a big test for us.

What does London do that other teams don’t? They move the puck well. Their passes are bang on. Guys seem to be able to find open ice. They take advantage of every little mistake you make in your own end.

Best player on their team? Perry is the guy they look too, to score most of their goals in key situations. Fritsche and Schremp too. Plus they have 6 solid defenceman, and good goaltending.

Were the 67s intimidated by London? I’m not sure. We weren’t letting them run a round for the first two periods. Maybe we were kind of in awe of the way they were playing, and some of the players. [/paraphrasing]
