POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH JOHN GRUDEN
On today’s game: We know how good of a team they are. It shows in the standings. When you see them live with the success they’ve had, they pretty much have no weaknesses. They dangerous up and down the lineup. Good defencemen who can skate and they have a great goaltender. I thought we managed the game other than the first five minutes. I thought we settled in and really had a lot of good moments. We lost a little bit of that momentum on the 5-on-3 (penalty kill) but for the most part, happy with the point. It would have been nice to get two but definitely a different contrast from protecting goal leads and now we had to come back so, definitely a positive for us.

POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH JOHN GRUDEN
On tonight’s game: We obviously liked the result and I liked the process as well. What I really liked and we addressed it and the players executed really well was our third period. I thought we managed it well, kept them to the outside, didn’t really give them any grade-As and I thought we did it by rolling over four lines. They executed it really well and that’s going to go a long ways for when we go into Providence tomorrow.
On Ken Appleby: That’s a good word for it (calm). He looked poised. For being injured for awhile and this being basically his second game for us, I thought he looked really good. That was a performance that we needed and it definitely gave our group some confidence and he made some big saves when he needed to.
On Matthew Barbolini: I really liked their line with Haymes and Ryan Tverberg. I thought their line brought us a lot of energy and they got speed. They have a lot of energy and they definitely set the tone in the second period. Good for Barbs to get rewarded (1 goal, 1 assist). I know he was snake bitten a couple of times on some open netters. For him to get rewarded with a couple of points will be big for his confidence.
KEN APPLEBY (37 SAVES)
On his performance: I’ve got to credit the guys in the room, the coaching staff in the room, Hannu(Toivonen, goaltending coach) just making me feel welcome and making me feel like I’m allowed to come in here and play the game that I need to play. Luckily, they backed me up here tonight too. Lots of blocks. They made my job easy. It was a good team effort all around.
On the team’s performance: This team has a lot of good players, a lot of skill … It’s a special group. We can do special things. Whoever’s in (net) whether it’s myself, Artie, Peks or Hildeby whoever it may be if we can just do our job and make the saves we need to make, a lot of the times this team is going to score goals that we need to score and come up with wins.

POSTGAME QUOTES
HEAD COACH JOHN GRUDEN
On when the game’s momentum shifted to Springfield: When we started getting into some penalty trouble there at the end of the second, we lose a pretty good defenceman on the backend and then we took another offensive zone penalty early on in third that gave them some momentum and the final (penalty) when the puck went over the glass. They were better than us in the third period. They played desperate. We can’t shoot ourselves in the foot like that. We talk about it all the time. If we want to keep climbing and climb in the standings and play the way we want to play – we did a lot of good things – but if we really want to take that next step, those things have to be cleaned up.
BO GROULX (1 GOAL, 2 ASSISTS)
On the penalties: We knew they have a good power play and they capitalized on some chances and made some really nice plays. We’ve talked about not taking a lot of penalties. That’s been kind of the story of our team in the first couple weeks of the season and we got better but today, we kind of shoot ourselves in the foot. I was part of it. I took a stupid one when I tried to strip the puck from the guy. We’ve just got to learn from that. We’ve got two more games (this weekend). We’ve got one point right now. We play Hartford tomorrow. It’s a big game so, we’ll be ready.
