"Right out of the gate, the hustle was there. A big goal by Ryyno (Ryan Tverberg) - that line was awesome. The Beast (Dennis Hildeby) was phenomenal."
"We don't quit. We never quit. We had a bad game; I wouldn't say we didn't work hard in Rochester. We came back, and that first period is one of our best periods all year."
