The West 麻豆精选 Warriors couldn鈥檛 continue the momentum from game two鈥檚 win in their third game against the Wenatchee Wild. The Warriors offence struggled, and the defence got picked apart in a 6-2 loss in the Warriors鈥� first playoff game on home ice this season.
Warriors head coach Brandon West said poor discipline in the second period ultimately cost the Warriors the game.
鈥淭he penalties cost us. If you sit in the box for six minutes in the second period it鈥檚 going to hurt you. The wheels fell off in the second and then in the third we were just chasing the game the rest of the way,鈥� said West.

The Warriors will need to forget about game three and turn the focus to Wednesday night鈥檚 game four against the Wenatchee Wild.
West said that the Warriors鈥� best players will need to continue to step up, but that the physical play will need to carry over from the first three games into game four, especially the physical play from Brandon Dent, who鈥檚 played well in the series so far.
鈥淗e (Dent) played great in game two, and he played great (in game three), and he will play in game four. He lets his actions speak out on the ice,鈥� said West on Dent鈥檚 play.
The Warriors will host game five of the series March 8 on home ice, and if necessary, look for wins in Wenatchee in games six and seven.
