SAN DIEGO GULLS ‚ ‚ ‚ ‚ ‚ ‚

Assistant coach Kris Sparre ‚ ‚ ‚ ‚ ‚ ‚

On the message to the team going into the third period

We had a great start to the game, gave ourselves a nice lead, but you see how quick those leads can just evaporate in this league. We ran into some penalty trouble, and the reality of the game is that we couldn't get a kill. In this league, if you're going to get scored on three times on the penalty kill in three attempts, you're probably not going to find yourself on the right end of the stick. To me, that's really the difference in the game tonight.

On how the team is responding to all the recent roster changes

You have players who got sent down from Anaheim, and new players coming in with our recent acquisition. Guys get shifted around the lineup, you have new line mates, and guys learning new systems. That's the nature of this league, it's constantly changing. It's no excuse, you have to find ways to go through that, they're dealing with the same thing in Calgary as well. It's an unfortunate night tonight. You feel like you give yourself an opportunity to win by the way we started the game, it's tough to come away with nothing.

On the short turnaround time and playing Calgary again tomorrow afternoon

It's just that, you're a goldfish, forget about it, and it's a quick turnaround. We know we can play with this team, we've showed it over and over again. If we could just do it for three periods, it would be very exciting to see. We've shown spurts of it throughout the last two games and we have to find a way to play a complete hockey game.
