For us it's pride. When you have the Rochester jersey on, you're not just playing for yourself, you're playing for everybody that has played in this organization in the past. |
It's a huge win for us because we need to start somewhere. We've been disappointed with the recent results of our play, but when you are faced with a long road trip like this its always good to start off with a win. |
We knew they would try and blow the zone, get their guys behind our 'D,' and they just connected. We obviously have to do a better job defending that. Give them credit, but at the same time we gave up too many of those chances. |
We know we have to play better at home, but overall we need to play better. We're going on a long road trip next week, and these two games at home are very important. We have to defend our home ice and bring a lot of energy to these two games. |
We know we're capable of doing it. It's a matter of going out and doing it. We can't keep talking about it. It comes down to everybody stepping up. You don't point fingers; you look at yourself. You work from the inside out and just try and build on the simple things. |
