POSTGAME QUOTES
San Diego Gulls
Assistant Coach Sylvain Lefebvre
On the game
We started the game well and then when we made it 2-1 on our power-play goal, they scored on the shift right after. We always say that any shift can make a difference in the game, especially after a goal on either side. That was a big goal for San Jose. I thought we didn't play as well after that. We weren't organized as much as we have been organized and I think San Jose played a better game.
On San Jose
I think their overall game was really good. They were physical, they were good on the forecheck and then their goalie made some saves. They were clearing rebounds, and we had very limited secondary scoring chances. That's where we have to be a little bit better.
