best came flat games goal hopefully jump knock last legs night played playing point saw seemed senators skated skating teams third tomorrow took until wind
That goal really seemed to knock the wind out of us and you saw that in the third period. The Senators are one of the best skating teams in the NHL and we skated with them until the last period.

Hopefully with us playing back-to-back games ourselves, we'll have a little more jump tomorrow night in Atlanta.

bigger changes guys means players respect rules today wore
The rules change, a lot changes in hockey. I think we need to show respect to the players who wore those numbers. If that means guys today have bigger numbers, so be it.

It was an exciting game. We had a lot of mental errors, we looked tired at times. But we found a way to come back and score some big goals. That showed character and determination.

They are a hard team to contain. But we got some timely goals and terrific goaltending. It was battle-tested victory for us in many ways.

Enough is enough. We're at a stage where these performances are unacceptable.

Sometimes a change is the best thing for player and that might be the situation here.
