Statement Gerry Fleming
“We actually put a good start to this game, found some chances of the lead, but could not take advantage of them. We were off the role for several minutes. We didn’t help ourselves with our playing style. There are a lot that we have to work on and will also make the changes that have to be done. Penaltykill not as solid as in the first three games.
