POSTGAME QUOTES
SAN DIEGO GULLS
Head Coach Matt McIlvane
On evaluating tonight's game
We felt good about our game on Tuesday. We didn't leave with points, but we did enough great things that you repeat that effort and you're going to win a lot of hockey games and tonight, when we went down two early, it got a little quiet on the bench and then we fought back a bit in the second. We had opportunities when it was 2-1 to even the score. Really from there, it was all Calgary, and I give them credit. They were quicker to pucks, they won a lot of battles tonight and from our side that that's not the way that we expect to play.
On Oscar Dansk tonight
He kept fighting. We're at the very end of the game and still giving them Grade-A chances and I appreciate the way that he kept fighting.
On the penalty kill during the road trip
It's certainly a learning process. As far as learning reads and how we're going to work together as a group. I think that was certainly a positive. When you look at it, we don't need to be putting ourselves down that often, and then once you do, only thing you could do is kill it. So, yeah, there were good moments there.
Right wing Carson Meyer
On the takeaways from tonight's loss to Calgary
Yeah, obviously frustrating results tonight. I think there's a lot of positive takeaways from this, this road trip also, obviously some things to work on. I think we found a great recipe to win games in that second game in Abbotsford, as well as the first in Calgary. And, coming here, it's the first-place team in the division, I think 9-1 now. Obviously, we knew it was going to be a good test. And I think in the first game against them, we showed that we can play with any team in the league. And now, it's just finding a way to do that on a consistent basis.
On finding offensive chemistry
It's sometimes when there's not much momentum in a game or something. It's something small, like just switch a winger can have some sort of an effect on the line or team. And I thought [Nikita Nesterenko] was great with us. He just used his speed and worked hard, and he was making great plays. And it's unfortunate we got it so late. It would have been nice in the first or second period, but I think there was some stuff to build on for us.
On returning to San Diego this weekend
It'll be great. It's a long road trip. Not an easy one but it's going to be great to get back home, sleep in our own beds, get rested and get ready to play in front of the home crowd. It's been a while.
