Brown postgame quotes

Postgame quotes from Dustin Brown…

(on what was said in the first intermission…)

BROWN: “(Murray) came in and he didn’t really light a fire under our asses or anything like that, but it was just one of those things where it was a matter of everyone coming together. The important thing is, we need to be like that from the get-go. We played 40 minutes tonight. We played a hell of a 40 minutes, but I think that’s been our problem over the last three games. It’s spurts here and there.’’

(on the second period…)

BROWN: “Special teams was a big, huge part of that. Momentum. We scored with six seconds left in that, but we dominated them. We were in their zone for two minutes on the 5-on-3, and a minute and a half at the end of the period. That’s tough to play against for a PK.’’

(on whether the team supported the decision to scratch Frolov, and if it was addressed…)

BROWN: “He mentioned it to me this morning. I think, from the team’s standpoint, it was really about the 20 guys that were playing. That doesn’t normally happen with one of our better players, but for the guys in here, it’s an opportunity for other guys to step up and play well, and I think we did that. The team, obviously we want Fro on board. That’s something they’re going to have to deal with, management and all that. Obviously we want Fro in here, but at the same time, he needs to bring his `A’ game.’’
