POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On tonight’s game:

We had to weather a storm at the start. They usually come out strong in their building. They also haven’t played a game in awhile so, they had a lot of energy. They’ve been sitting resting. Källgren did a really good job of holding us in and letting us get our legs. We got through some special teams and then those two quick goals turned things for us. We started to find our game and the team did a really good job of building and keeping the momentum as the game went on.

On Rich Clune’s 700^th career professional game:

It’s special. I also played against him back in the day. For anyone to string along a career for this long regardless of level, regardless of anything. The determination, the discipline, the consistency that he’s fought through on the ice and off the ice. He’s just a really impressive person. I feel fortunate to be able to know him, to be able to work with him. I know our team values him big time with the things that he brings to the group. I’m just really proud and happy for him.

JOSEPH BLANDISI (2 GOALS, 1 ASSIST)

On his second goal and 200^th career professional point:

Just a good passing play. Lots of good line mates to play with on this team. You find that open ice and some guy will find you. I told Mac that that pass impressed me. I didn’t think he’d have seen me there. It was a pretty good gift from him.

On keeping the lead in the final 40 minutes:
Just staying relentless with it. We’ve got great leadership in our dressing room. Even after that first 20, we weren’t too happy with it. We know how to calm the guys down and give our best effort for the next 40.

RICH CLUNE (700^th CAREER PROFESSIONAL GAME)

On his milestone:

Any game that I can get into is a gift. I’m just really grateful to do it here with Toronto and especially this team, this year. It’s a lot of fun. I’m grateful. It’s been a hell of a ride. I love it.

POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On Toronto’s special teams:

Penalty kill has been great this year, (John Snowden) has done a great job with that area of our game and power play was strong today. Special teams did a really great job on both sides of it to give us a chance to win this game along with Källgren and playing really well around our net. Within this league and how hard it is to win, you definitely need to lean on your special teams to execute and we got that today.

On progress through the second half of the season:
Especially since this break, I think anybody coming off a break that they have been sitting so long, it took some time to get going, but we’re in that part of the season where the guys have started to figure out what works and what doesn’t work. They’re all starting to say the right things, leadership has done a great job of pushing the message of what’s needed from day to day, whether it’s in practice or in games. It’s a good sign when a group like this at this time of the year is starting to mature as quickly as they are. This isn’t leaking to the halfway point or further. We have high expectations that we keep growing and keep trending the way we are.

MAC HOLLOWELL (2 ASSISTS)

On today’s game:

A big focus in the second half of the season has just been our starts and trying to play more of a full 60 minutes right from the get-go and I think our start tonight was really good. Obviously, power play was clicking for us so that was huge but I just think overall our energy and commitment to just playing a team game, playing defensively is really good to see.

ANTTI SUOMELA (1 GOAL, 1 ASSIST)

On Erik Källgren:

He’s a great goalie. He gives us a chance to win every game and every day and that’s huge for us. It’s the same thing with Joseph Woll. We have really good goalies and we can trust them. I think we can still defend better so they don’t have to face 50 shots a game, but the goalies are huge for us.

POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On Ryan Chyzowski’s performance:

Really happy for him. He’s one of those guys with an infectious personality. He’s always rooting and cheering on everyone regardless of his ice time or his opportunity. He’s the definition of a team player. So, it’s good to get him on the ice, get him some opportunities and he found some success early.

On Joseph Blandisi:

It’s been such a short window for us and our time with him, just his second game but you can tell the maturity he has and how he plays and how he manages situations. He’s a competitor, and you can tell he’s been a great addition.

JOSEPH BLANDISI (1 GOAL, 1 ASSIST)

On the locker room:
Everybody is really close in the dressing room. I know it’s a family type of atmosphere in there. The coaches are hanging out with the players and you can barely decipher who’s who because everybody gets a long really well. The training staff and everybody is looking out for us. I just think with the family atmosphere, everybody wants to go to battle for each other and that’s a good recipe for success.

POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On tonight’s game:
First, Joe Woll played phenomenal for us and gave us an opportunity to win this game. Heavily outshot in the first two periods and he shut the door. He looked very composed, in control the whole time. His ability to recover the pucks in and around the crease. In the third, we would found our game, we found our compete, our passion, our spirit for playing and doing the things that brought us success in wins prior to this Christmas break. The first period, there was compete there. I thought before the first TV timeout, it was good intention with how we were playing but then we started getting sloppy with our puck management, turning pucks over, made us spend a lot more time in our D zone. Their power play gave them a lot more momentum for them which kind of us put on our heels. Once we got through the second period and into the third, we finally found it and we found a way to find the back of the net. Good job by our guys to find a way.

FILIP KRÀL (2 ASSISTS)

On the challenge of returning after a long break:
It’s always challenging but we had a couple of good practices to get ready for the game. The first period was kind of hard to get used to it but after that, everyone was used to it and it was fine.

On the team’s third period:
We talked in the dressing room and talked through the first two periods and we didn’t play good. We knew we needed to be better. We just played our game in the last period.

On tonight’s game:

The first two periods, I don’t think we deserved to win but the third one was pretty good from us. We played good in the third. Obviously, it’s a good win for us to finish 2021 and be better in 2022.

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On the team’s structure:
They’re starting to buy into it. They’re starting to see how it works and much like most teams, you’ve got to rely on each other. All five guys on the ice have got to play their role and do their part to make sure that we’re protecting ourselves defensively but ultimately it helps us create more offence when we can get pucks back faster, transition quicker and use all five guys inside of that. What’s really been impressive with this group with the game in Laval with how challenging of a game that was and how much adversity we went through as a group, a lot of teams could have very easily just folded in, given up, started pointing the finger, brought negative energy or a poor me attitude coming into the weekend but we have a lot of good leadership, a lot of good guys in this room and for them to step up in these two games and have a response like we have in the way we played, it shows a lot of good signs with the group that we have.

On the key to consecutive wins:
The three games in four days, it’s not easy to play at this pace and in this league to sustain a high tempo and play as fast as we do in that many games in a short amount of time. Managing our shifts, managing our workload, being able to use our entire bench and trust everybody in all situations really helps us do that and that showed in these last two games.

On Alex Steeves’s contributions to the lineup:
He’s brought a lot to our team the last two games. Not only goal scoring obviously but all the little things that help win hockey games – his work ethic, competitiveness, his ability to make plays with the puck, game management items. He’s come in early here and led by example.

ALEX STEEVES (2 GOALS)

On the team’s success today:
Just playing the right way. Early on in the season, we weren’t always willing to create offence the right way. We have so much talent that when we put it behind them and let our offensive instincts take over, we’ve been rewarded with what we’ve been able to put up and how we’ve been able to defend.

On the team’s structure:

Our structure is all based off of being aggressive and wanting to get the puck back so, we can attack. You can’t attack and get the puck without playing an honest game and having a high F3 who’s working his butt off to get back. We have a lot to feel good about. We stayed disciplined, we stayed with the game plan and that’s why we won.

POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On Alex Steeves’ AHL debut:
Great. He brought a ton of energy. We’ve been eager to see him in and he’s been chomping to get in the lineup and start playing with us. He has a really good shot, a really good scoring touch. His competitiveness and work ethic is some of the best we’ve seen. It’s been a little bit of a long road since his injury and the reason he can have such a big impact in the first game back is because of how much work he put in in his time off.

On the defence:
I thought all six of our D played really well tonight. They were smart with where they were positioning themselves around the rink, making sure we stayed above their speed and their guys that are trying to take off in behind us. Their puck play was simple, efficient and at the same time creative. D don’t have to be flashy. They just have to be really smart with their reads and we have really smart D who read the puck fast because of their skillset.

BRENNAN MENELL (GAME-WINNING GOAL)

On tonight’s game:
Commitment to structure. We got a little loose last game and also just having a better start. Going down early in the last game, we knew we had to change that. Staying out of the box too. I think we won the special teams game. That’s a huge component in why we won. We just knew that we had to have a bounce back game to get back in the win column.

ALEX STEEVES (1 ASSIST)

On his first game:
It was awesome. Admittedly, there were times where I was a little heavy of breath. Ultimately, I just wanted to help the team win today and am super excited we got a big win.

On the team’s win:
(Källgren) played really well in net which is always huge. There was a bigger commitment then I’ve seen most of the year of guys just willing to put it behind the defencemen and go get it, playing the right way to get offence and we were opportunistic at the right times.

POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On the team’s play at the end of the season:
It definitely feels good. There were stretches of the season where it felt a little bit on repeat in terms of answering some of the questions postgame with some of the inconsistencies and starts. A lot of that had to do with a lot of new bodies, people coming in midseason which kind of felt like the start of the year again where we had to work through some items and get everybody back on the same page which takes time, takes development, takes practice. It felt really special, really special these last five, six, seven games where everything just game together. We had a really good group of guys who bonded through an adverse season and found ways to win the games down the stretch.
