"In playoff hockey, you got to play for keeps, and I thought we were casual. We get up two, it tricks you, you think it's going to be alright, we've been playing pretty good. You can't do that in playoffs, you can do that and maybe get away with it in October, but you certainly can't in the playoffs against a very good team."

With 14 points (7G-7A) in eight games, Parascak is second in WHL Playoffs scoring, trailing teammate Brock Souch and his 15 points (5G-10A).

"They pushed for sure, they're a good team, but really important for our group to come out and be prepared off the get go, and get two shorties right off the bat, everybody's starting to feel good about themselves, stay disciplined again here for the most part of the night, great effort in two games now," said Cougars Assistant Coach Carter Rigby on the post-game show on 94.3 the Goat.

"I think coming out of the last series, we wanted to get over here early and get ourselves organized and rested, and make sure we started on time, and I think that's what we did tonight," said Cougars Associate Coach Jim Playfair on the post-game show on 94.3 the Goat.

"That's a tough team over there, they're big, they're strong, they're heavy, they can make plays, you have to do a lot of work to beat them, and we did enough tonight."
