Associate Coach Mario Duhamel

"In the last couple of games we weren't really sharp in the first period, we have to make sure that we stay on top of it mentally and physically. We have to concentrate and be able to stay in the moment. However, I think that in the second period we were the best team out there, special teams did a great jobs and our power-play got some big goals."

"TJ, Felix and Yanic, who got the first goal of the game, played a really good game for us and gave us the energy and momentum."
