After leading the Galaxy to another win, Landon spoke about the goal and the season outlook:

On his goal…
“I’ve been encouraged, and I’ve been trying to shoot more and be more aggressive, and it certainly worked out tonight … it bounced up in the air and my initial thought was shot. My second thought was maybe bring it down and I thought maybe take a swing at it. At that point, I’m just trying to make real good contact and I hit it perfect … it was something out of nothing on that play, but we certainly deserved a goal. We were playing well up to that point and if it didn’t come then, it was going to come at some point.”

On his goals for the season…
“My personal goals are team goals, and that’s to get in the playoffs. And after that, we’ll figure it out after that. But we’re on our way.

On the team’s look at playoffs…
“New England was a team that has still has a couple games in hand ,and this was a big game to push clear of them. And what we’re trying to do is separate ourselves from the rest and tonight we did a good job – a big step towards that.”
