Quotes by Mike Routhier

"
All three guys in goal have played well for us and Chris made several strong saves tonight.
"
It was an added bonus having Giacomo join the team this year. He just kind of fell into my lap. We didn't know what we were getting, but he skates very fluently and low, a tough thing for someone so tall. We are working with him on playing both ends of the rink. He has some room to grow defensively, coming back and getting the puck.
"
They're a solid team. There's a reason why they were 7-0.
"
They kind of knew us almost by our first names. We were a little deeper. They had two (forward) lines, and we had three, and that's going to usually win out in playoffs like that.
"
Offensively, he is pretty gifted. He has good get-up and once he picks up the puck, he creates a lot of space and his release on his shot is college-level. We have put him onto the second line and that has given us two real good scoring units.
"
It was too much of a performance. I didn't remember which overtime it was. It was sort of a surreal atmosphere.
"
We just don't have that killer instinct and it's been like that the we whole season.
"
We had three good practices this week and were very solid tonight. We made a couple adjustments to our pre-game routine and despite missing four starters, our depth came in handy tonight.
"
We pride our saves in killing (penalties). If we get a penalty, we just suck it up and we'll do it. We've got confidence to keep the puck out of the net.
"
Matt has come up so big for us over the last few games and we told him not to worry about that one and from there he turned it up and played great.
