THEY SAID IT

“I just think that we still have to figure out exactly how we have to play as a team in order to be successful on a consistent basis…when we got on pucks and we were hard on pucks and we got them back, we got some momentum back, but we had nobody at the net. We were putting a lot of pucks on net from the perimeter and we’re not getting second chances.” – Giants Head Coach & General Manager Michael Dyck
