Quotes:

“I have been frustrated so far, trying to adjust to the level of play here. This is a hard tournament, there isn’t much room to move out there. I had to keep telling myself to stay relaxed and have some fun. When the first one went in, it was a weight off. I felt more confident and got one to drop late; it was a big win.”

- Di Cesare on finding his offensive touch.

“I wouldn’t say we were nervous, but we certainly had some tension. Our guys knew what was on the line here tonight. This team wants to keep playing and I felt we were pretty sloppy early on, but the late power play gave us some much-needed momentum. Once we got the fourth goal, the bench felt a lot looser and that is how we need to be to have success.”

- Pistons head coach Paul Dyck (Steinbach, Man.) on his club handling the “must win” pressure.
