POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On the taking today’s win into the weekend:
Just recognizing the feeling that we had playing as a team and what our process was. They came out really hard to start the game. It took a little bit for us to get our momentum going. We had a few days there without games but our team did a really good job of sticking to the process, finding our way through it. [And in] that second period all the things we’ve talked about building momentum and taking it from there.

On St. Patrick’s Day game:
Great crowd. Our team really were lifted by the noise and the support that our fanbase gave us. On a special day like today with all the uniforms. [Equipment staff] Wil Burns and Steph Klein are unbelievable. They put in the most hours of anybody. They are two of the hardest workers we have in the organization and the amount of detail and effort that they put into making this day special for the players and staff was really, really impressive.

On Joseph Woll leaving the game due to injury:

Shoulder. He’ll get more evaluation done today. Unknown right now on prognosis.

On Michael Hutchinson entering the game:
Always challenging for a goalie to come in unexpectedly like that. Last game, he played great. Today in an even tougher spot, he came in and made some big saves for us and kept things settled, giving us a chance to win this game.

JOSPEH BLANDISI (1 GOAL, 1 ASSIST)

On today’s game:
We had a tough stretch there a little bit so, it really brought the guys together, found ways to win and these last two wins have been character as you see the games start to get closer to playoffs and the hockey is looking like that. These tight games are big ones for us to win and are definitely big down the stretch for point wise.

On Michael Hutchinson:

It’s a veteran goaltender. He’s a rock back there. Even if he’s not playing, he’s good for us in practice, he’s good for us as a leadership role guy and he helps talk to the young goalies too. Part of their success has to do with them and the way he mentors them. You see it with Källy who’s up top now, Joe Woll’s playing amazing and Hutchy’s able to save their bacon whenever they need him. It’s just a great trio that we have of goaltenders and we’re excited to use them all down the stretch.

POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On the team’s first period:

This is an extremely hard building to play in. Notorious for coming out with strong starts. They have a good crowd. We didn’t come out with the start that we have recently in the last few games. On top of them coming out strong and us being flat, we may it hard on ourselves. The guys were saying the right things in the first intermission and responded in the second.

On Joseph Woll leaving the game in the second period:
I think one of our defenceman accidentally collided into him into the side of his leg. He may have tweaked his knee a little bit. Well assess and have our doctors look at it and see what comes of it. It was a heck of a job for him up until that point. Really kept us in the game with how many shots there were and then for how hard it is for Källgren to come in cold off the bench and play the way he did and give us a chance to win the game is great.

ALEX STEEVES (2 GOALS)

On tonight’s game:
We felt coming out of the first period only down one was kind of a moral victory for us. I don’t think it was our best period. We had a really good talk in the locker room that started with the players and I think that helped us gather some steam and have a better second period, score a power play goal which was huge and then the overtime goal is good to pick up the extra point in a tough barn.
