It was a tight game. We played a good team and unfortunately they got that goal on the power-play. At the end we had quite a few chances to get one, but we just couldn't do it.

It's definitely a fun game to play right now,

It's great to see the chemistry they already have, it's not the easiest thing to get a line clicking like that.
atmosphere bitter playoff
It was a playoff atmosphere right to the bitter end.
best good maybe road stuck time winning
Any time you can come back from 3-0 and 4-2, it's great. It maybe wasn't the best of games, but we stuck with it. Winning two out of three, it's a good road trip.

We all expect some changes to be made. It's sad, especially for this group. We've been together such a long time that you create a deep bond and friendship with the guys in here.

We didn't initiate anything. There was no doubt they were outworking us.

That gave them momentum for the whole game. Had we got the lead we might have taken them out of it early.

Really bad intensity from our side and then we took penalties and we know we can t beat them if we do that.
came caught flying focus individual teams trademark
I don't have the answers. It has to do with individual focus that we're not ready. It used to be our trademark that we always came out flying and caught a lot of teams by surprise, and we haven't had it this year.
belong
Right now, I don't think I belong in the worlds.
