As the Mammoth look to bounce back from this game, they’ll focus on playing connected. That’ll come through learning from this loss.
“Through work, through video, through just learning (from) this game,” Sergachev explained. “Obviously it’s tough, tough performance and our fans deserve better, a lot better than that. It just happens to everyone. We’ve been playing really good hockey lately and we just have to get back to that through hard work. And we’re going to do it.”
“(We need to) figure it out, but at the end of the day, we’re serious about our business,” Tourigny shared. “No matter who’s on the other side, we need two points every night. We’re in a hell of a race. We need to take that game and learn. That has to hurt big time, so we make sure that doesn’t happen again.
“If that’s the purpose of that game, it is what it is, but there’s no reason for us to play that game.”
