“Despite giving up a last-second goal, I was pleased with the Lasers' third-period play. It's easy to get tight after giving up a pair of quick goals. The boys stuck with the game plan and increased their intensity throughout the game.”
Chris Duncan
“We played even with a great team in the second and third periods. But Omaha is a team that plays with a great desire to win for a full 60 minutes. We didn't do that.”
Mark Mazzoleni
“The third period was obviously everything we had. The first and second were the worst periods we played all year long.”
Jason Kalin
“We decided to come together as a team in between the second and third periods. We started playing more as a team, more uplifting. We were all over each other.”
Brian McDonough
“We played awful hockey in the second and third periods. We were fortunate it was only 3-1.”
Gerard Gallant
“I'm pleased with the way we played for three periods. They scored on the chances they had in the third, and we didn't. I thought that was the difference.”
Scott Bergland
“We played a good first period and good third period and not a very good second period again. Jeff made some good saves to keep us in the game. They had two goals that period and could have had a couple more.”
