鈥淭hey鈥檙e a quick team and they obviously generated a lot of speed and pressure against us,鈥 Dyck commented.

鈥淲ith the lineup that we have now, missing a couple of key offensive guys [it鈥檚] really hard for us to create offence.鈥

Dyck said he was hoping to fill those holes by the next game, on Saturday Feb. 18, when the G-men host the Saskatoon Blades at the LEC. Puck drop is 7 p.m.
