POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH GREG MOORE
On how Stockton pulled away from Toronto in the middle of the game to take the win:
I thought they pulled away from us from the start. There really wasn't a great effort from our group from the beginning of the game. Stockton came with a game plan, they executed their game plan. They came to work for each other. They moved their feet, they put pucks in behind our D the entire game. They wore us down. We were not willing to do the same. We came out flat. We thought our skill was going to beat them rather than our work ethic and didn't even attempt to execute the game plan that we talked about before the game. In my mind, it's two games in a row now, 5-on-5 especially, that we've been poor as a group. We haven't bought into what we need to execute, especially when it comes to something as simple as competing. It hasn't been there. It hasn't been good enough.
On Nick Robertson's absence from the lineup:
He had expressed an oblique injury. He was a game-time decision. He took warm-ups and we didn't feel that he was ready to play so he's day-to-day right now.
