POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH GREG MOORE
On today’s game:
If we’re looking at the two games, there were two slow starts and two losses. The starts were a strength of ours for awhile there. We’ll have to reset and discuss it as a group. If you look at the six periods, I thought we had four really good periods of the six. The first two periods of the games were our crux.
On taking one point out of the game:
I had talked to them after yesterday’s game. We’re proud of the character to fight back, to find their game in the second period and to push for 40 minutes, get back to playing the way we know we can play. There’s definitely something to that and not just packing it in after a bad start and not coming back into it. It’s a competitive group. We’ll have to make sure that come into the next game with a better start and find our game earlier than we have.
MAC HOLLOWELL (1 ASSIST)
On today’s game:
It’s always good to come back from a 2-0 deficit. At the end of the day, we had to last game and we had to tonight. It’s the second half of the season now, we’ve got to start getting better starts.
On the compete level:
The compete level and urgency was just really low in the first. It seemed like we were still just warming up out there. We didn’t really get our legs going until the second period.
On Kyle Clifford:
Just being in the locker room with a guy like that who’s won a Stanley Cup, who’s been throughout the NHL for so long. Just when he’s out there, when he’s speaking in the room, we’re listening that’s for sure.
