against period start third
I'm disappointed we didn't play well from the start and do what we did in the third period for the whole game. We'll have to play a lot better against Ottawa.
good nice period rewarded team third together wrapped
We got rewarded for the good things we've been doing. It was nice to see the team come together a little bit. The third period kind of wrapped it all up.
period score third timing
His timing was perfect. Going into the third period with the lead, you should win. Especially when you score right at the buzzer. It's really deflating.
decision gave goal late period poor power third
We made a poor decision on our power play late in the third period and gave away a short-handed goal and couldn't get it done in overtime.
builds counter fans good hockey punch rivalry teams
I like it. Fans get to see two teams punch and counter punch a little bit., It builds up a rivalry and it makes for a very good hockey game.
since talked training
It's something we take very seriously. We've talked about that since the first day in training camp.

Everybody's healthy. Turco is going into the playoffs with no hiccups this year. So we feel good about where we're at.

I'm more excited than nervous. It's been a long wait.

I like what they're doing with the rules. The rules are taking players out of the game whose primary job is fighting and forcing teams to consider using players who can skate and play.
rules
I like what they're doing with the rules.
caught chances effort good less score
It was less about effort and more about execution. We had some good chances and didn't score and it caught up with us.
indication issue received
It was never an issue for me. I have never received any indication that anything had changed.
chance early good line picking
It's way too early to be picking out line combinations. And there's still a good chance the two could play on the same line.
capable choice hard job somebody
It's very hard choices. It's not as if somebody is not capable or not getting the job done. But at the end of the day, it makes us a better team.
