POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH GREG MOORE
On what needs to change for tomorrow’s game:
Stay out of the penalty box against a top power play unit. I mean for the most part we played some good hockey. I thought the first period was a good start for us going toe-to-toe with them. Second period, penalties and turnovers through the middle of the rink kind of fueled their momentum and gave them some space to make plays and go back towards our net. We got back to it in the third period, came out hard, got back to our game plan. So, it’s just those little blips, those little five, 10, 15-minute segments that we just got to stay on it and execute what we want to execute.
ALEX STEEVES (2 ASSISTS)
On today’s game:
We had a good start. They’re a really good team. Not really a good idea to put them on the power play, we gave them a lot of opportunities there. I thought it was a good hard battle. It felt like a playoff game and they came out on top. I think we just kind of stick to our recipe and play the right way I think we’ll have a really good chance to get them back tomorrow.
On Michael Hutchinson’s play:
Hutchy was a stud tonight. He gave us a chance to pull our goalie at the end there. That one save he made was one of the better saves I’ve seen all year. He’s a gamer and he really balled out for us tonight and gave us a chance to win and which is all you can really ask from your goalie.
