POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH GREG MOORE
On tonight’s come-from-behind win:
I thought it started a little bit before the third period. Halfway through the second, we started to find our game. We definitely didn’t find our “A” game at the beginning. It wasn’t the start we had on Wednesday. But the group stayed with it, stayed positive. Throughout the second period, we started to find some momentum and got back to being more predictable as five guys on the ice, gaining some connection, connectivity of the five guys reading off each other. Going into the third period, a lot more energy on the bench, a lot more energy in the locker room. They picked themselves up. They’re starting to find some belief and trust and confidence with one another to find ways to win games.
On Michael Hutchinson:
Hutch was great. He gave us a big chance to win a hockey game today. Obviously with the amount of NHL experience he has, he brings a lot of veteran leadership to our group. He says a lot of the right things at the right time. He had a good game today and we’re proud of the way that he’s continued to push through and find wins for us.
JOSH HO-SANG (GAME-WINNING GOAL)
On the come-from-behind win:
Our team knows we didn’t bring our best game in the first period. We stuck with it and tried to do what Moore was asking us to do. We ended up getting rewarded. We learned last game that you have to play hard. I think we were still a little bit fragile after that loss last game but it was nice to see the boys’ resiliency and for them to come through and have a great game.
MICHAEL HUTCHINSON (24 SAVES)
On tonight’s game:
We were building our game. The first period didn’t go well, the second period was a little bit better. (Moore) definitely challenged us to come out and really put our best foot forward and I thought our guys really responded. We didn’t really give up much in the third period. We had a big five-minute kill. Penalties have definitely been a bit of an issue for us but our entire penalty kill did a good job tonight, especially on that one. Not only stopping their momentum but we were able to gain momentum off of it too. So, I thought that was huge and I thought it was a great response from our guys.
