gas hard nights played ran third
I think they ran out of gas in the third period. They played back-to-back nights and we played really hard in the third period. We were really disappointed with our first two periods.
against chances finish good great hard hockey looking scoring trouble
We had a lot of good scoring chances in the first half. Then they went up 5-2 and it's pretty hard to come back against that team. I was looking for a great finish to the hockey game, but we got into trouble and they capitalized.
gave scoring
We had a lot of breakdowns and gave them a lot of scoring chances.
stand
When something?s not working, you have to try different things. You can?t just stand pat.
calls couple good power
We made it 4-3 and unfortunately we got a couple of calls after that we didn't like and they scored on the power play. They got a pretty good power play.
both competing great guys habits handled hard playoffs practice quit reason six starts sure weight wish won work
I?m sure both of those guys wish they were going to the playoffs and I?m sure they?re disappointed. But I think it?s great for our guys to see how they have handled this. There?s no quit in them. They still are working hard and competing hard, and I think that?s a big reason why we won those six in a row. It starts in practice and in the weight room, and their work habits there are obvious.
awful fortunate hockey played second third
We played awful hockey in the second and third periods. We were fortunate it was only 3-1.

Great goal. Great move. He did the stuff we talk about all the time. He came with speed and took it to the net.
chance colorado four game gave great kept played points three
Colorado played pretty well, and I thought it was a pretty even game. Pascal made three or four great saves. He kept us in the game and gave us a chance to get some points but we couldn't score.
difference hard period plays power second took
The first period we competed hard and battled hard and had some power plays and just couldn't capitalize. In the second they had some power plays and they took advantage. That was the difference in the game. After the first period they just took it to us.
great period
The first period was a great period for us. We capitalized on our chances.
both deep eight good
The goaltending was fantastic. Both goalies were fabulous. The shootout went eight deep -- that will show you how good the goaltending was.
