Addressing the team's mindset for the impending playoff push, Coach Jim Montgomery emphasized the significance of mental preparation during a recent statement.
Montgomery highlighted the strategic shift in focus towards playoff readiness as March unfolds.
While acknowledging progress in mental preparedness, he noted a gap in on-ice execution, attributing it to the regular season's role in playoff preparation.
Coach Montgomery on the stretch run: "The plan all along was when we hit March, our focus is to get ready for playoffs. I think mentally we're getting there. I don't think we're executing on ice yet like that...that's what regular season does, it prepares you for playoffs."
