THEY SAID IT “Very nice. I love it — to score early goals and help the team, too.” — Egor Sidorov
“Getting those power plays early, and then making the most of them, it’s really important to get the lead and build energy on the bench. Guys were into it. You get two early like that, it’s obviously a great start for our team and we kind of just fed off of that.” — Blades associate coach Dan DaSilva, who continues to fill in for head coach Brennan Sonne while he is away at the world under-17 hockey challenge.
