chances couple good towards
It was a good game. Their power-play made the difference. Towards the end we got a couple of good chances but we couldn't get the equalizer.
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.
came couple good room toward
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.
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.
couple depends heals pain small
Obviously, I think he's going to be out a couple of weeks, but it could be longer. It's a small fracture. It all depends on how it heals and how much pain he can take.
awful bad basically couple games incidents obviously playing rightfully simple thrown
It's two incidents basically a couple of games apart. It's bad timing. We're playing obviously awful right now, so obviously everything is thrown at us and rightfully so. Right now, we're getting what we deserve, it's as simple as this.
couple sharp
Garnett wasn't as sharp on a couple of goals, but he is a young goalie.
chances couple decisions face felt game good key moments positive power saw situations step tough
I think it's a very positive first step. He had some real good chances on the power play. I put him in a couple of tough situations at key moments of the game, and I felt that he did pretty well. But let's face it, this is step one. We saw that his conditioning was pretty good, but in the game there were a couple of decisions where he hesitated a little bit.
best happening lost
The best thing that is happening to us is that we have a day off. We have kind of lost our game.
pat
I'm going to say that Pat Quinn can say what he wants. I don't care.
reverse second
It was like a photocopy (of the second period), just reverse it.
carried final game power shot
It was a game where we carried the play and they carried the play for a while. It was a big game and unfortunately, they got the final shot (on power play) and we didn't. It's just sad.
games hope lose obviously start stay teams winning
It's tough, because if you lose, you obviously lose ground, and if you win, you stay there. We just have to keep winning games and hope teams start getting in trouble.
entire hope learn matter respect showing
It's a matter of showing respect to the entire team, the organization and the fans. I hope he'll learn from this.
