POSTGAME QUOTES
SAN DIEGO GULLS
Andrew Agozzino
On the first period
They came out with a pretty good start. I don't know if it was as much them doing something to us to not get our game going, I think it was more so us not playing our game. I think there were some areas that we could definitely improve on that would have prevented that first period. I think that first period is more on us than what they did.
On the team getting off to slow starts
I don't really know why that's been. It's definitely something that has cost us a few games. We've been lucky enough to come back in a handful of them and win them, but that's something we have to figure out. I don't know if it's simplifying our game at the start, but that's on every individual player. We have to be ready from the first period. We can't wait until the second.
On tomorrow's game
I expect a big response from us. I think we need to. I don't think one player or coach was happy with our game tonight. We expect a lot of ourselves, so hopefully we have a better showing tomorrow.
Head Coach Kevin Dineen
On the game
It wasn't the start tonight, it was the whole game. I think we just got outplayed from the drop of the puck and that carried forward from there so when you recognize that's happening, it's not just a coach yelling at players. It's recognizing what we're up to isn't working, simplifying our game and keeping the puck out of our end. We had trouble with our breakouts and forecheck. It was a complete game where we didn't have a lot of structure.
On the San Jose Barracuda
We play in a good league. There's good teams here - they play well and they play hard. They took a pretty good thumping last game and we expected them to come out hard and they did.
On the penalty kill
There was some structural breakdowns as well. Those things end up in your net. You kill of a two minute and you've got a four-minute penalty you have to kill. You have to make sure that you can't pile on and have four-minute penalties. Our penalty killing has been pretty good for the most part this year. Obviously, we gave up two big goals tonight.
