We are trying to get better every game. We took a step by winning an important game against a big rival.
These nights are going to happen. It's definitely disappointing to do that against a team like that, but that's the way it is.
The Senators are a team we are looking up at in the standings. They beat a lot of teams in our division. Any points we get against them is a plus.
I got it with the paddle of my stick. I think he ran out of real estate. He's the one who scored that big goal against me (in the Olympics), so it was kind of nice to stop him. But it was not really a decisive save though.
Losing a game like tonight is a killer. These are four-point games. We have six games left against these guys. Who knows, those points might determine a playoff spot.
You have to manage your ups and downs in a series to be successful. We've been able to pull through in situations where our backs were against the wall a little bit, but we took advantage of some lucky breaks. That's the way games go, if you work hard good things will happen.
This was huge, especially against a team like that. Hopefully, we'll build some confidence and get some momentum going forward.
You can't be happy about losing a game. You have to look at the bright side. We competed well against a team that we can afford to give two points to and we took one away from them.
It was nice to have home ice advantage against these guys and we took advantage of it. The guys played well offensively, we buried some great opportunities and special teams again was a big factor. We put ourselves in a great position but we've got to make the best out of it.
It was a great challenge playing against him. I really looked forward to facing him and was fortunate to be able to play with him internationally. He took care of business on and off the ice and certainly will be missed.
It's a rivalry and they're playing hard. We're not happy they're not doing well against the rest of the league. They're taking points away from us.
When he got the puck there I was thinking about the Olympics against Corey Hirsch. That was a big goal for him.
Defensively, we were awesome. That's as good as a team can play. I don't know how hard they competed against us, but we don't care. It's about how we play.
Defensively we're going to have a lot of size. It should be interesting to see - I think it's going to be a learning process - learn to play with each other, learn to play with the new rules, learn to play against other teams. There's all new teams everywhere, they haven't been passive and have been changing players left and right. For the first week it be interesting to see how we play against our traditional rivals because we're going to be playing them a lot.
