What people are saying
We'll definitely take the two points. It probably wasn't our best game,
I thought it was a step in the right direction,
It was just fun to be playing again. That was nice (to score),
It's a shot from the slot. Traffic and coming off the bench, you're kind of lost, so I just tried to get it on and off the stick as quick as I could,
