COACH'S COMMENT
"I thought the guys played good again at home," said head coach
Dennis Currier. "The first half we were very dangerous and essentially one of our goals tonight was to get the shutout and were able to get that. We got sloppy defensively in the last game and I thought the guys did really well in that sense getting the shutout. Oakland's always a very tough team to play so that gives us confidence going into this weekend which is the most important game, which is the conference game."
