Quotable
Moose Forward Morgan Barron (Click for full interview)
"It was good, we kinda talked about that in the dressing room. I don't think we started the series with a lead yet till tonight. That was a point of emphasis for us. I thought that was our best start yet. It's going to be huge to do again Sunday. It's a lot more difficult coming from behind especially early on."
