POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH GREG MOORE
On the team’s play in the second and third periods:
You want to see your team keep fighting back and pushing regardless of what the score is. The guys went out there and played like it was 0-0 and kept fighting for it.
BRETT SENEY
On four goals against in the first period:
We take a lot of pride in getting off to a good start and obviously today, you can see the score, we didn’t do that. I think it’s just mental mistakes more than anything. You know coming off a tough schedule, late travel, you can’t really make excuses, just got to be ready to go.
