Tucson Roadrunners forward Conor Garland celebrates his third-period goal with defensemen Andrew Campbell and Dysin Mayo at Tucson Arena. The Roadrunners clinched the series win with Friday’s victory and will now face the Texas Stars in the second round.
AC: “We’re just a tight-knit group. There’s no egos, there’s no bad attitudes, there’s no lone wolf, we’re a team from guy one through guy 26 or 27 or however many guys we have here right now. We just bought into the whole team aspect of playing hockey and we love going out there and competing with each other night in and night out. We have fun at the rink, away from the rink. We just like being around each other and we genuinely like each other. It’s a pretty special feeling when you get a group like that.”
