‘”I think we did everything right up until the very end,” Thompson said. “That’s why we won. It just came down to compete [level] tonight. I think obviously that team works extremely hard, and they’re willing to get into a track meet. I think, for us, it was about making sure we were strong in the middle of the ice, letting them force stuff at our blue line and try to get our offense from that, and just making sure that we’re not turning pucks over, that we were smart with it.”’
