"We're not disappointed with where we're at," said general manager Albert Corradini, but added that the team still has a long way to go to win the league.
"Now's an opportunity to try and work on some things, to try to get ready for the playoffs and try to get some guys playing into specific roles."

"We're going to take it one day at a time," Corradini said about approaching the playoffs.

"With that parity, you can't afford to look past anybody," he said, noting that all the teams are strong competitors
"Ultimately our goal, our objective is to get to the finals," Corradini said, but stressed they will take it one step at a time and try to stay focused.
