I thought our guys did a heck of a job defending and keeping them to the outside. They [Manitoba] didn't get too many high-quality chances, so that makes my job a lot easier.
He's solid. He's unflappable back there. It's contagious through the team and the defense; it trickles down. I couldn't be more proud of him.
