POSTGAME QUOTES

Deven Sideroff
On playing with Alex Dostie and Ben Thomson
Coming into the game, we knew they were a speedy team. They don't hit a lot, they aren't that physical. We felt that out there. Compliments to my line mates, we always kept our feet moving tonight and that makes the game a lot easier when we're always flying down the walls together or going through the middle and forechecking.
On his game
Coming into this year, it's my second year, it makes it a lot easier confidence-wise. When my line mates are going like that, it makes me go and makes the game a lot easier.
Head Coach Dallas Eakins
On the game
Not good. Really disappointing. I thought we were going to gain great, great momentum coming off our last game where we had such a gritty, high-energy performance. We came in here and we were listless and soft and slow through the first two periods.
On Dostie, Sideroff and Thomson
I thought they were out best line. I thought they were trying to do the things that we are asking of them. They played a very simple game, that's the kind of game you want to play. Complicating it turns it into a slow game. They kept things simple and were able to generate a little bit for us. But as a group that's unacceptable.
On Jared Coreau
I said after the first, 'We should all be down on our knees thanking Rozie (Jared Coreau).' The game should have been four or five nothing. He had kept us in it to keep it close. We were able to tie it up and you're hoping to keep it rolling. I don't think we had a shot on net for probably seven, eight minutes after we had tied it up. Back to the drawing board, we'll get right back at it tomorrow.
