The regular season has officially wrapped, and all focus will shift to \u2018Game 83\u2019, the opening game of the First Round. This group has worked hard to get to this point. One of the most exciting times, the playoffs, are just days away.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a professional athlete this is the time you want to be in,\u201d Associate Captain Lawson Crouse shared. \u201cYou want to be playing in the playoffs; you want to be giving yourself a chance to win a championship. It starts here; it starts now.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s super exciting,\u201d Captain Clayton Keller. \u201cWe\u2019re so excited to be in the playoffs. This is where we wanted to go and now the real fun starts, the regular season\u2019s over. It doesn\u2019t matter at all really. It\u2019s (time to) focus on Vegas.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following Thursday\u2019s game, the Mammoth announced the winners of the Utah Mammoth Honors. Captain Clayton Keller was named the Team MVP and Leading Scorer, Michael Carcone won the Community-Obsessed Award, the community voted Lawson Crouse as the winner of the All-In Award, and Dylan Guenther was given the Three Stars Award.<\/p>\n
There was plenty of energy throughout the night, as there has been all season. As the players look forward to the upcoming home playoff games, everyone is excited to see the energy of the Delta Center during the postseason.<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean, you’ve seen it the last few games, right? It’s been pretty electric in here,\u201d Carcone said. \u201cI think the fans are excited, just as excited as us, so it’s going to be special.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cFeeling that energy and that atmosphere out there each and every night, I find it hard to believe that there is another level,\u201d Crouse shared. \u201cConsidering how loud they have been, they’ve continued to blow us away. So, I’m sure they have something in the bag for us for the playoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n
