I thought I scored two goals, but I didn't score, ... I must score when if I have a great chance to score. I'm disappointed because we lost this game and the first period was terrible.
We had a good game tonight, but we made a few too many mistakes. Tomorrow is a big game and we can't make those mistakes.

We're going to play our game and we're going to come back and we're going to play Montreal or Tampa,
