He says clinching the division means “everything.”
He says they’re looking forward to having home ice advantage for at least two rounds of the playoffs, but the work isn’t finished yet—their next goal is to clinch to top spot in the conference to secure full home ice advantage for the entirety of the postseason.
The Growlers take on the Lions again this evening at Mary Browns Centre.
