JAY LEACH, HEAD COACH

“I thought he (Tralmaks) was good right from the get go. He was on pucks, skating in straight lines - he was under people. He made a couple plays off the wall and played good defensively. He could have had two. He was around the net looking to shoot pucks. He was impressive.

He (Keyser) was really good. That was probably the best I’ve seen him play. I thought he was able to locate everything. There were a couple of chances off the rush that he made look easy. He was out at the top of his crease and was very impressive. He certainly earned that victory.”
