The importance of limiting team's opportunity against the crucial said Owre. He said: “In any game regardless of who the opponent is we want to smoother their offense.
“The way we play defensively it is hard to play against. We will keep on working on the defensive side of our game to ensure its a tough night for any team.”
Turning his focus to the defeat of the Devils, Owre said: “Puttin nine goals against Cardiff was a good indicator of what our team is capable of going forward.

He added: “Those kind of game happens once in a while, but we really took over the game. We took care of business and did what we had to do. We didn't give them much other than the powerplay goal. Once we got a couple we just kept rolling and it was fun night.”
Owre adds that the Giants will be expecting a reply from the Devils next time: “Doesn't matter who it is, when you lose by a big margin, the next game is more or less guaranteed to be a lot tighter and they will come back with some juice against us.”
Owre was delighted to have supplied four of the goals in the 9-3 win. He remarked: “It was nice to see a couple of those go into the net for sure.

He concedes that he has never scored four in a professional game. He said: “I have never experienced that before at a high level, certainly not as a professional. I have had a couple of hat-tricks in college and junior, but other than that I have never scored four in one game.”
