POSTGAME QUOTES

San Diego Gulls

Sam Carrick

On the game

It was a good game. Right from top to bottom, everyone played well tonight. We had a good start and we stuck with it. It was good to build off of that.

On Jeff Glass

He was huge. We saw a couple of big saves by him on their power play. Throughout the game, (he was) just so calm and steady in there. He gives us a lot of confidence that we can play our game. We can play our game and make plays. If there's a breakdown, we know he's going to be in there standing tall for us

Head Coach Dallas Eakins

On the game

(Jeff Glass) played very well and made critical saves when we needed them. After that, we scored when presented the opportunity and I think that's one great thing about our team. We are a dangerous group and you don't want to give us much.

On momentum and confidence

We were getting chances, but we couldn't find the net early. We put a couple over the net, one wide, but then guys were able to stick with it. When they started hitting the net and going in, it was like an avalanche.

On special teams

Patience and I sticking with what works. I think a lot of times, when things aren't going right, there is a certain panic to change things and we decided not to do that. Just stick with these guys and they know each other well on those units. I think just the patience with the power play is critical.
