Quotes:
“We just knew the first game [against Sudbury] wasn’t really our game. It wasn’t the pace we normally play at, and we just felt a little bit off that night. We wanted to play our team style tonight, push the pace and skate. I think we got tired as the game went on and ran out of gas in the third period, so we have to manage that, but I liked our energy and enthusiasm. They actually play a similar style to us; they’re pretty defensive, have good structure, are well-coached, and they keep the goals against down and have a good goalie. We knew it was kind of like playing ourselves; we watched some video and knew what to expect, but I thought it was a good even game.”
- Truro head coach Jon Greenwood on his team’s performance.
“That’s hockey, right? You play your games and last night I thought we were outstanding, tonight I thought it was the worst hockey game we’ve played in a long time. There was no flow in the game, just penalty after penalty and it seemed like it wasn’t a hockey game. They score on the first shift of the hockey game, it’s hard to recover from that, then we take a penalty and it just snowballed from there.”
- Summerside head coach Billy McGuigan after a frustrating loss to Canmore.
“Getting a comfortable lead like that with one goal early in the game really helps; that’s the confidence our guys had and it feels good. Summerside is a good team, they play hard and fast. We knew they would be aggressive and on top of us quickly, so to get the 1-0 lead was a bit of deflation for them and a little bit of excitement for us. We still took too many penalties, some undisciplined ones and that put our penalty kill in a bad spot. We blocked a lot of shots which is great, but on the downside the potential to get hurt and we have to sharpen up our discipline moving forward.”
- Canmore head coach Andrew Milne on scoring early and taking the crowd out of the game.
