POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH JOHN GRUDEN
On today's game:
We started so well the first 10 and then the fire alarm happened and they took it to us. They were down 2-0, they had a big push. We were able to get some of our momentum back - a goal to tie it and then the power play goal. But we just had too many penalties, we can't play that way against them. You're playing with fire, it's not a recipe for success. We have to clean things up and we have to be better as we move on.
