POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH GREG MOORE
On tonight’s game:
Really tough game. End of the road trip like this, you can tell the guys were starting to feel it. What I really loved was the confidence in the third period after they scored, the voices on the bench, the energy on the bench was different then it had been all year. There was a lot of belief in the group to find our way back into it.
JOSEPH DUSZAK (GAME-WINNING GOAL)
On the game-winning goal:
Just a great play by (Seney). Skated the whole zone and then just turned up and I just happened to be wide open and luckily it went in the net.
On the team’s attitude through the game:
We have a really good group of guys that like to stick together, play together. Everyone throughout the lineup knew the game wasn’t over. Lately we’ve been slipping with those leads like in Wilkes-Barre, we lost that two-goal lead. I thought it was good for our confidence to come back and get the tie and the win. We were 2-2-1 going into this game so, it’s good to finish off the road trip above .500.
BRETT SENEY (1 GOAL, 2 ASSISTS)
On the team’s attitude through the game:
That was one thing last game, we had the lead going into the third and we squandered it. That was one thing that it didn’t matter what the score was, we just wanted to go out there and work hard and play every shift like it’s 0-0. We got down there, but we didn’t give up. Every line was doing it tonight. We were setting each other up. We gave ourselves a chance to win and we won.
On the end of the road trip:
It’s always good to go 3-2-1, always good to be above .500. It’s been a long road trip. The bus ride is a little shorter when you get a win to finish it. It’s definitely a good one for the guys.
