POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On today’s game:

We expect more from ourselves, that we can beat any team on any given night. The result is frustrating. It was a back-and-forth game. It’s starting to feel like the end of the season where points are on the line, playoff positions are on the line. Playoff hockey is starting to come and you could tell this was one of those games where every play was a big play.

On Alex Steeves not returning to the game:
We kept him off for precautionary reasons. No real diagnosis right now.

On Joseph Woll:

He looked really solid. He stabilized things back there for us at times. Really good game for him.

ALEX BIEGA

On today’s game:

It was a tight game. It’s just how the Bruins play and they play. They play a north-south game for the most part. They played a steady game where they didn’t give too much up. I thought it was a close game. There were a couple of errors we made at the end. You can call it fatigue, you can call it just mental errors but at the same time in tight checking games like that, we just have to understand as we continue to creep down into the playoffs that we have tighten things up defensively and I think that was relevant obviously in the third period.

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On tonight’s game:

First weekend back for Suomela and I thought as tough as it was to not play a game in seven months to then play three-in-three, he did a really good job getting us some really strong minutes, played really well today. We’ve leaned on a lot of guys to come in and fill in some spot. After the slow start in the first, we found our game, thought we deserved a little bit better outcome in the second and third in terms of finding some goals.
