Quotes

"Well I thought we battled hard to get back into the game in the second and they scored a quick goal after we tied it up so we weren't able to build momentum after that." - Head Coach Rich Kromm on the Thunder's compete level

"Obviously there were a couple goals we'd like to have back. A couple crazy bounces off sticks and some others that were just breakdowns in our own zone. I think it's a confidence thing and right now we aren't playing with a lot. The first period guys were squeezing their sticks too tight and pucks were bouncing off our sticks. I thought we relaxed in the second, but the game got away from us late in the period and we couldn't recover." - Head Coach Kromm on the defensive zone coverage from his perspective

"Our power play has been good all year. We've been consistent really in all of our special teams so far. Tonight we had two really nice goals with good puck movement. I think Ryan [Constant] and Keith [Seabrook] complement each other really well on the point and they were able to put two in the net tonight." - Head Coach Kromm on his team's power play production tonight
