POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On the team’s response following the late tying goal:
The energy was good all day. The guys were saying the right things on the bench. I didn’t feel at any point that we as a staff had to find a way for them to want to do the right things. It was a very mature game. Our young group has come a long way. As tough as the last week and a half has probably been with some of the games and results that we’ve had, they stuck to a process today and they’re starting to find their way.

On Keith Petruzzelli’s first AHL start and win:
He did a really good job. He reminds me a lot of Ian Scott with how calm he is in net. Any time that you have a goalie that can instill some confidence and stillness back there, it just gives confidence to the team in front of him to play well.

RYAN CHYZOWSKI (FIRST AHL GOAL)

On who he thought of with his first goal:

I think over the years it’s just my parents and everybody just helping me throughout my hockey career, and I think it’s just the sacrifices they’ve made, and I think it’s pretty special just to be able to kind of put into perspective scoring my first AHL goal. It’s taken a lot to get here so I’m really proud and proud to share that with them.

On the team’s response following the late tying goal:

It’s a pretty special group in there. I think there’s no doubt in anybody’s mind that when they scored that goal that we were still winning this game. It’s great for me to experience this weekend and get into some games, and it’s very special to get the win today.

KEITH PETRUZZELLI (30 SAVES, FIRST AHL WIN)

On his first AHL win and who has helped him get to this point:

It was a pretty special night. I didn’t know that it was Hockey Fights Cancer Night so, that was great too. My grandma passed away a few years ago from breast cancer, so I’m sure she was watching over me tonight. A couple posts, a couple lucky bounces. And just thanks to my parents, of course. I wouldn’t be here without them. My older brother and just all the coaches and people who helped influence my life.

On the team’s performance:

Boys were great; blocking shots, taking away opportunities, just making my job easy. You can’t ask for much more from a D core then that. It’s great to see guys buying in and blocking shots and stuff like that.

POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On tonight’s game:
I thought we could have easily been in this game. Their goalie had a really strong one. We were for the most part out chancing them through the first two periods and just couldn’t find the back of the net. Their goalie found a way to make some saves and I felt as though throughout the game we were in it all the way.

On the impact of recent call-ups including Ryan Chyzowski:
There was some opportunity today for guys to get in the lineup and play up in the lineup; get some ice time, responsible roles on the power play. It was a good opportunity for guys today to prove themselves in some spots, get some more ice time and thought everyone did a really good job with it. Chyzwoski won some big faceoffs for us and had an impact, brought some good energy. It’s good to know and see that we have good depth in the organization for guys that can fill in when we’re short some bodies.
