Moar dominant Zacha!
Quotes per AG:
Ginger Ninja on where the game was lost:
“I think it probably was more the penalties and going to the box,†goalie Cory Schneider said. “Having to kill an extended five-on-three and two others. All of a sudden the shot totals get a little skewed and we’re not able to get guys into the game and not get them into a rhythm if they don’t kill penalties.â€
Cammy on Chewie's Dominance:
“He’s a special player,†Cammalleri said. “The thing that stands out the most that we had to do a better job of is his ability to pull the puck on the blue line and get shots through accurately. He’s very good, very effective. We couldn’t let him do that tonight and we did and it cost us the game. He has a long reach and ability to pull the puck and get the shot through.â€
Please, for the love of god, WIN!!!!!!!!!!!
PLAY. ****ING. HARDER.
