Westgarth postgame quotes (Oct. 20)

Kevin Westgarth’s postgame thoughts…

(on being able to make an impact in tonight’s game…)
WESTGARTH: “It was good to lay a nice hit and make their guy come after me and get a good tilt in there. It was pretty good to get the season underway that way too. I felt a lot better. I think, with Cliffy and Lewie, we were just clicking out there, and I think that’s some chemistry that we’ve been building and can definitely look forward to. It always feels pretty good to see one of your passes go in the back of the net after you give it to a guy like Kyle Clifford. Everybody gets happy and excited when he buries it and celebrates. Everybody is into it.’’

(on being able to roll four lines…)
WESTGARTH: “I think that’s how it has to be. That’s what we try to be, is a reliable presence that can chip in once in a while and provide that physical, intimidating presence. So we definitely like to be able to contribute on the scoreboard, but we know what side our bread is buttered on.’’
