POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On whether Toronto took their foot off the pedal as their lead grew:
To be honest with you, I didn’t think we had our foot down on the pedal at any point to start the game. We were very fortunate to be up the way we were. The group knows it. They know they didn’t come out and play the way they needed to play. It’s a tough win to enjoy when the process and how we want to play is not there.

On Andrew D’Agostini’s play over six games:
He’s having a lot of fun. He’s got a big smile on his face. He’s been our most consistent competitor in these games and that’s not to take away from our team, we’ve had some really good games up until today. The score could have very easily been flipped in the opposite direction. D’Agostini again gave us a heck of a chance to win a hockey game. We were opportunistic with our chances but for the most part, our group’s not very happy with the overall game and how we played tonight.

POSTGAME QUOTES

HEAD COACH GREG MOORE

On tonight’s victory:
It was really good to see everyone contributing. It’s the sign of a good win. Points are spread throughout the roster, all four lines are contributing, defence is contributing offensively. I thought the group did a really good job tonight defensively as well. We definitely had to weather a storm early on. We had talked about Stockton being really excited to play a hockey game for the first time in a while. You knew they were going to come with a ton of energy. D’Agostini did a heck of a job again tonight giving us a chance in that first period.

On practicing special teams:
Not a lot [of time to practice]. Especially with what our schedule’s looked like last week and this week, A.J. MacLean has done a phenomenal job coaching them and giving them video and getting them a game plan and giving them a process and a structure and something to stick to and the players have bought into that which has really shown.

On Justin Brazeau:
He had a good game tonight. He’s really gained more confidence with every game. He’s a big body who utilizes that skill and that asset in the games. Our assistant coaches have really been putting in the time to watch video with players and really give them some perspective as to how they can take advantage in this level in this league. Brazeau is one of those players that asks the right questions, he’s always wanting to learn. He has a good sense of himself, as an athlete and as a person. His process so far has been great. He’s been getting better with every game.
