QUOTES "I thought 5-on-5 we were good tonight. Where we fell apart was the special teams game. It was quite evident that [Tucson] was better in that department and that was the game." - Head Coach Ryan Huska with his overall thoughts on tonight's game.
"If you don't win the special teams games, you're not going to win the game. You might get lucky on the odd night, but most nights you won't. We have to be better in that department." - Coach Huska on the focus moving into Friday's game.
