Post-game comments from head coach Wilfried Nancy, Samuel Piette and Mathieu Choinière are available here.

WILFRIED NANCY

"We knew they were going to put a lot more pressure [in the second half], we expected it, we were five minutes away from a draw. We tried to get the block higher a little faster, but the way they play, with a lot of pressure, I wish we had managed a little better, especially when we conceded the goal. We have two games at home, and we must win them to hope clinching the playoffs. Tonight, we didn't play for the draw, but towards the end we were cornered. With the frustration, and disappointment the players have today, we're going to start these games at home to get the points and we'll take care of mathematics at the end."

SAMUEL PIETTE

"I feel disappointment, frustration, against Toronto [last Saturday] and today. I don't think we deserved to lose either of those games. I think if you watch the game, we're better than the opponent, without necessarily creating a ton of chances offensively. It feels like we must play the perfect game every time to be able to get away with the points, which is difficult in the long run. We do a lot of good things in the game. I think defensively we are very strong. You must look at what you do well, like coming out of the back despite the heavy pressure from the opponents, going forward and taking the ball into the last third."

MATHIEU CHOINIÈRE

"We have things to improve. We manage to get the ball out well off the back, we build well. Yes, in the last third we could be meaner, sharper, that's an aspect where we can get better. We fought well, everyone showed a lot of solidarity and it's a shame to concede this goal at the end. "
