We need to capitalize on some of our chances. That's what changes the game, special teams. The first seven or eight minutes of that period, that's the game. No matter what the score is, that's the game right there.

both good great half key teams
We had some great opportunities. In the first half of that game, I thought we had some good opportunities. I think that's the key of the game. Both teams had some opportunities, they scored on a couple, we didn't.
We didn't play well ... all the facets. We couldn't get out of our own way.
We are right where we want to be. Right where we want to be.
nervous
We were a little nervous in the first period.

Give the Leafs credit. They waited for us to turn it over. The guys understood how to get it done when you're down.
If it hadn't been for Burke, we would have been embarrassed. We should be embarrassed.
