We got some bounces that went our way. It was a pretty ugly game.
These European teams are well-oiled machines. They get up by a goal and it's lockdown time.

There would be games where he would absolutely dominate and then he'd come to the locker room and tell us how poorly he had played.
There would be games he dominated and afterward he'd be saying how bad he played. He's never satisfied.
We wanted to go out with a bang. We wanted to give our fans something to remember before we went away. I was pretty proud of our team.
We're unflappable on the road. We seem to be fearless right now.
That was a pretty good effort right from the start. We've come a long way. The beatings they put on us were the low point, but we responded and stuck together, and to come out with a game like that is pretty nice to see.
It exemplifies a little bit of our season. There's no quit no matter what's left on the clock or what the situation is.
Personally, I think he's the real deal. I've skated with him and have seen what he can do. But it's hard where everywhere he goes there's a press conference. It would be good for people to let him be a kid in the league and be a rookie and let him adjust as he goes.
We've proven to ourselves in here (how good they can be)and ultimately that is the important thing.
The rebound was there, and I just kind of tried to whack it and it found a hole and crossed the line.
When I see a 240-pound guy diving around like a squirt after taking one of our guys' knees out? I don't feel too good. I kind of feel embarrassed for him, actually.
We were down, 2-0, on the road, but we still seem to find a way. It's been amazing.
