awful chance gave great happen hop horrendous instead start talked trying
We concentrated an awful lot on our start tonight. We talked about what we wanted to do and still got off to a horrendous start. We're trying to make something happen and instead we gave a great chance right off the hop to one of the better shooters in the league.

It's unfortunate that you've got to do these things, but that's what we have to do with this cap situation this year and make sure we leave enough room to have people here as we go on.

The crease call to nullify a goal for us was a little puzzling. But it's always puzzling when your team isn't the benefactor of the call.

We were certainly guilty of not going to people assertively. We had a difficult time with them tonight.

When we got that third goal, I thought it might just be our night. But when they got their third goal, it seemed to give them a lot of life. It got the building (excited).
adhere entire good took
We did some good things, but we also took too many penalties. We didn't adhere to the things we need to do for an entire 60 minutes.
