THEY SAID IT:
“It was a great game. I think it was one of our better games of the whole year. We played a full 60 minutes, stayed tight-knit and came away with the result we wanted.” – Roadrunners forward Tyler Steenbergen sharing his thoughts on Friday’s win post-game.
“The push back right after a goal for or against is huge. The next shift is what leads to the next shift and it compounds. It sways the momentum for the rest of the period.” – Roadrunners defenseman Kyle Capobianco describing the importance of the Roadrunners scoring immediately following both Stockton goals Friday night in the win.
THIS WEEK’S NOTES:
The team will now have an off day Monday, practice day Tuesday, game in San Jose again Wednesday and a travel day back to Tucson on Thursday.
