JAY LEACH, HEAD COACH
"I had some flashbacks of a rookie tournament several years ago with 2-on-0's on both sides, which I can't say, as the coach, I really enjoyed. I think the 30 people that were in the building really enjoyed it.
We talked about it at the end of the period. Mistakes are certainly going to happen, but that was reckless. That's just something that we're going to have to make sure that we understand. We're on the power play and we want to score goals, but it's not a 5-on-0, 2-on-0 back the other way scenario. We still have to play with our brains because you're not going to win many games giving up that.
With that being said, the power play really kept us in it and won it for us in the end. We can learn from it. We're going to talk about it. At the same time, I think we can also build on the fact that we had some pretty nice execution and got some momentum out of it."
