  Oil Capitals Coach and GM Troy Leslie, "It was a tough night all around. We did some good things in the 1st and continued to keep the game in our sights but we lost our composure and focus for a duration of time, during different points of the game allowing Selkirk to take advantage of our mistakes. We will need to play a full 60 minutes tomorrow against Neepawa. Our focus is to get this ship in the right direction tomorrow."
