“We quickly turned the page after last week’s performance,” said Rush GM/head coach Derek Keenan, reflecting on his club’s loss in Calgary.

“We still controlled our own ability to finish first and we earned it ourselves. Now we’re back here next friday and that’s what we wanted.”

The win secured home-turf advantage for the Rush, who will once again face the Mammoth on Friday in the one-game West Semifinal.
