What they’re saying

“The way we played, too, I thought it was really, really good; very consistent, very hard, structured. Our best players were our best players: David was outstanding, goalies were back to business. A lot of good things happened, especially at home. We feel very comfortable at home.”

— Marco Sturm, Head Coach

“I think just sticking to what we do that gives us success. That's playing fast, getting pucks out of our zone quick, and getting them behind their (defensemen) and working around the o-zone. Guys have just been really buying into that. We've been closing quickly in the d-zone to get the pucks out, and guys have been executing offensively.”

— Tanner Jeannot, Forward

“I think it's definitely the five-on-five game. I'm a big believer in a five-on-five hockey game, playing a very good structured game. I think there's still room to grow, but overall, I think we feel very, very good.”

— Marco Sturm, Head Coach
