I think we wore them down by the end of it. It was a big win.\u201d<br \/>\nDiscussing the return of star player Evan Mosey, Lord said: \u201cHe brings a lot. Little periods of suspension and missing Mole (Mosey) just set us back a little.<br \/>\n\u201cYou could see it Saturday in Belfast, his first game back after a month off, how much he helped us.<br \/>\n\u201cToday he was really coming back into his own; making some play, using his foot speed, coming from behind and joining the rush. As a coach, I\u2019m very excited to have him back.\u201d<br \/>\nLord was upbeat on his team\u2019s prospects for the weekend\u2019s fixtures and praised the standard of this year\u2019s Elite League.<br \/>\n\u201cYeah it\u2019s great, I think the parity in the league is incredible now.

I think we need to get on a bit of a roll right now, I think it\u2019ll be good for us.<br \/>\n\u201cWe need a good start here, it\u2019s been a bit back and forth on the starts lately.
