Marco Ferruzzi on the game:
"I think we had a lot of positive moments. I think we put them under a lot of pressure. The goals were very good, and we had good possession. I think there's a lot of positives to take out of this."
On what it takes to finish off games:
"Being clinical in those moments. Sometimes veterans figure it out; Houston's a veteran team. But the boys that came on did a great job. They worked very hard, and we had some opportunities to put the game away, and we didn't. We'll go back and we'll review it. We'll figure out ways to get better."
