POSTGAME QUOTES
ASSISTANT COACH A.J. MacLEAN
On Toronto’s performance this weekend against San Antonio:
Over the weekend I thought the guys really were gutsy and they found a way to win two games. I thought both of our goalies were absolutely outstanding. For the most part I don’t think we as a team played the best that we could in front of them and that’s something next week that we’ll have to get back to work in getting fixed.
On Joseph Woll:
He was excellent today. He was pretty much the whole reason why we won. I thought early on we played well for about eight minutes, we got out to a good lead and then we didn’t really stick to our game plan for long stretches. Thankfully Joe was sharp and he was ready to go.
On Toronto’s pushback after San Antonio scored:
I was really happy with the guys. I think they clicked. Everything clicked for them, they snapped back into it and we ended up getting our competitiveness up and I was glad with the way the game ended.
JOSEPH WOLL (40 SAVES)
On his performance:
I think I have a lot of confidence playing behind these guys lately. Throughout the game we do a really good job of limiting their high opportunity scoring chances so I think as long as I’m back there trusting my team to score, I know we’re a very opportunistic team so I trust them to put the puck in the net and I just have to focus on myself.
