POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH GREG MOORE
On tonight’s game:
Today was a good response for our group in how we played, what our objective was in the game. There was a real consistent effort in the game today from everybody. Joe Woll was great in net today, made some huge saves early, let us find our legs and get into this game. Really tough building to play in and obviously a top opponent in the league. We managed things a lot better. I liked our process today.
On playing with a depleted lineup:
We feel on any given night we can beat whoever we’re playing, if we’re playing the right way. Today was one of those nights that we didn’t get the results we wanted but really proud of the team in how we competed and how we found our way through a really challenging game in a tough barn.
On Joseph Woll:
He looked really confident today, made a lot of saves look easy. One of his strengths is his athleticism and he had to reach for a few to bail us out.
