POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH GREG MOORE
On whether Toronto took their foot off the pedal as their lead grew:
To be honest with you, I didn't think we had our foot down on the pedal at any point to start the game. We were very fortunate to be up the way we were. The group knows it. They know they didn't come out and play the way they needed to play. It's a tough win to enjoy when the process and how we want to play is not there.
On Andrew D'Agostini's play over six games:
He's having a lot of fun. He's got a big smile on his face. He's been our most consistent competitor in these games and that's not to take away from our team, we've had some really good games up until today. The score could have very easily been flipped in the opposite direction. D'Agostini again gave us a heck of a chance to win a hockey game. We were opportunistic with our chances but for the most part, our group's not very happy with the overall game and how we played tonight.
