Denver, CO- The Thunder Bay Timberwolves needed to make some serious adjustments after losing Game 4 at Canadian National Gardens by a another 3-2 ending. Forcing their netminder to make 52 saves in the process.
>>>"Absolutely unacceptable," said a furious Timberwolves head coach [Craig Hartsburg] after Monday's loss. "This cannot happen in any game at anytime in the season, and especially not here and not now!"
>>>If the Thunder Bay coach was not pleased then, he was in need of a straight jacket after Game 5 in Colorado.
>>>There is no need to summarize the details of this contest. The Timberwolves were never in it. Losing 5-0, and heading back home to face elimination in the first round.
>>>"We needed to respond to Game 4 and our miscues there," said Timberwolves captain, Keith Ballard. "We not only did not do that, but we were completely dominated on every shift. We know how to win here. Otherwise this would've been over an done with after Game 4. We just have to forget about the past and get back to the basics for this next game. I'm not ready to call it a season and pack it in. I know the rest of the guys aren't either."
>>>Like Game 5, the Timberwolves will be without defenseman Jay McKee for Game 6 due to injury. McKee has been paired with Nick Schultz all season as the club's shutdown pairing. Schultz was paired with Aaron Ward in Game 5, but will likely be with Niclas Wallin for Game 6 and Ward will sit.
