Special teams was good tonight, especially the penalty kill.

We've been very good penalty-wise up until this game. All I can say is I'm quite thankful we don't have to play a game with an ACC refereeing crew again this year. That was miserable and I'll leave it at that.

There were two special teams out there tonight. Neither team wanted to lose and they fought hard. I give Sully Buttes credit, they are a great team.

It was a very good way to open the season, especially after the rough pre-season that we had. Tonight we tried a couple of different things and it worked out.

We need a better penalty kill. They just put it on the net and they kind of knew where the loose puck was going to be, we didn't.

We had both our power play and penalty kill go south.
