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.
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.
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.
ahead credit deserves good happened lots man means obviously process
I think it means a lot for Dany and it means a lot obviously for us because we all know what happened and the process that Dany had to go through. I think that this young man deserves lots of credit for not only doing it in a very good way, but also getting ahead of schedule.

In the past years, this organization has been slapped more than we deserve it seems. But I think we're a pretty resilient organization. We showed people before that we can turn around and go through tough times as a bunch of pros. This is obviously another situation where we will have to adjust.
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.
cost goal hurts plays power score winning
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.

Even though they've pretty much dominated us in the first three games, the good news is we're still right there with them.

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.
