Williams postgame quotes

Justin Williams’ postgame thoughts…

(on the game…)
WILLIAMS: “I think the story of the game was blocked shots. I haven’t seen a stat sheet yet, but when we did force them and get them to run around a little bit, we got the puck up to the top but they blocked a lot of shots. They really front a lot of pucks, and stop us from sustaining a lot of pressure because of that. They’re a tough team, obviously, to start with, and when they get the lead it’s a lot tougher to come back on them. We did have our chances. Ponikarovsky almost got one, almost evened it up. Ryan (Smyth) had a crossbar. But sometimes that’s not enough, and we need to get back at it tomorrow.”

(on not getting frustrated in that game…)
WILLIAMS: “There’s not much else you can do. Yeah, you do get frustrated a little bit, but you have to find ways to combat that. For every good defense, there’s always an offensive scheme you can conjure up to try to beat it. We tried to get pucks wide, and away from their blocks, stuff like that, but we weren’t able to get one past Turco when we needed a score. Tough insurance goal at the end got us.”
