Coach Greg Leclair commented on the night. "Tough game I thought; the first period we were the better team. Somewhat evenly played, but I thought we had the upper hand. Second period, penalties kinda killed us and zapped our momentum . . . got us behind the eight ball. Third period, they came out and played to their capabilities, and it was a complete reversal of the second [period]. We were the ones getting the power plays, we were the ones finding the net. That’s unfortunate, we came up just short. It really spoiled a tremendous game played by Sean White and Keegan Pock. Pock took a questionable penalty at the end of the second period. He atoned for it in the third; three goals in about a four minute span - those are stretches that players dream of.”
