Head Coach Troy Mann

"Anytime you battle back on the road from a three-goal deficit late in the game and win 4-3 in regulation, you have to be happy with it. We certainly didn't like our performance last night, but I thought we were much better tonight, and sometimes you don't win those games. Fortunately, we got some key goals late and ended up with two points."
