Toward the end, we got a couple of good chances, but we couldn't get the equalizer. He came up with some good saves. There was not much room out there.
came key mike saves strong time
Mike Dunham had a real strong game. He came up with some key saves at the a very important time of the game.
both came fight minutes playing puck sides strong suddenly teams tough
Those things are all about timing. I thought for the first 10 minutes it was tough for both sides to get some shots. Both teams were playing very strong defensively. You have to fight for every inch, and suddenly a puck came loose.
against came fans front loyal remarkable
That is a remarkable accomplishment. Unfortunately, it came against us. But at the same time, it was in front of his fans - the same fans he has been so loyal to and have been so loyal to Luc.

The bottom line is that Thomas came up with some good saves. It's a tough loss, but there's still plenty of games left. At the same time, games like this can come back to haunt you in the end.
andy couple dirty fights finish honest looks occurred player players seconds since tried worse
Andy Sutton is not a dirty player by any means. I think he's a very honest player and he just tried to finish his check. It's unfortunate and you never like to see players get injured. But it was one of those things. I think since it occurred just a couple of seconds after all those fights it looks way worse than what it is.

Right now we are playing good hockey and making a push for the playoffs. I thought the effort was great and we are skating very well.

Right now, there's lots of unknowns and speculation. Let's let the league do their stuff.

Power plays cost us the game. If you don't score it's one thing. But if you give up the winning goal on your power play, that's where it hurts the most.

We went so long looking for the NHL goalie we were expecting. Now we have him.

Boom Boom was an incredible man who meant a great deal to me and I'm fortunate to have called him a friend and mentor. I'm sincerely honored to be a part of the same coaching fraternity and to follow his lead as an NHL Head Coach in Atlanta.
dominated good news though three
Even though they've pretty much dominated us in the first three games, the good news is we're still right there with them.
obviously
There's going to be a lot of 5-on-4s and 5-on-3s because obviously the referees want to make a statement. It makes for some interesting hockey.
advantage basically buffalo confident cost couple easy game plays
There's never an easy loss, but I thought we started the game like we wanted to start. Unfortunately a couple of plays cost us the game. Buffalo is very confident right now and they take advantage of basically every one of their chances.
