Rob Sumner Power Quotations

We've scored some big power-play goals that have given us momentum and confidence. We had a very bad power play in the first half, but we've improved, had some success and it's still evolving.

We're far from a well-oiled machine on the power play, but we're starting to recognize plays and make quick decisions to create better shots on net through traffic. With the chances we had early against Spokane on the power play and the results we had late, we can gain some confidence.

We didn't measure very well. They do a lot of things well. They don't make many mistakes. They were able to score on their power play and we weren't.

Special teams are always critical against Everett. They don't take many penalties and they have the best power play in the league. The best way to kill penalties against Everett is not to take them. Prevention is the key.

In all the games we've played there have been a ton of penalties. We're definitely not underestimating the need to get better on the power play. It's something we're working hard on every day.

That's obviously not a recipe for success. The power play continues to hold us back. We're not giving up on it, we'll continue to try different things and different personnel.

We just never seemed to get going the way we wanted to. We didn't play well on many fronts, but to give the opposition a power play like that early in the game just isn't good enough.
