I thought we deserved a better fate, but we didn't get it. There is no use worrying about it. We can't change it.
I thought we didn't play 60 minutes, we played about 50 minutes.
We put a little too much pressure on him by taking too many penalties.
We have to step up as a group. There are no ifs, ands or buts. We didn't play anywhere near the level required (Tuesday). They won more one-on-one battles than we did. They started with the puck more often. They got inside and they were more physical than we were. We have to match that.
We really stayed with our work ethic. Our players seem to enjoy that.
We got down early but found a way to claw back. The one thing that this group has demonstrated all year is resiliency.
We got beat by a very special player. He did everything he had to do to dominate the game in the goal-scoring department. He's a dominant young player. He's the real deal.
We had more structure, but our penalty parade took us out of the hockey game. You can't continually give teams the quality of Dallas power plays. They made us pay.
We had lots of energy early. Lots of things went our way.
We have to make sure our players are disciplined to the point, where they can't put themselves or their team in a situation that's going to cost their hockey club goals, momentum, whatever you want to call it.
We played a lot harder tonight than we have in a lot of our games, particularly on the road.
Those are the type of wins that really make you feel good about yourself. We went out there and we earned it.
We are playing for positioning. Tonight one shot beat us.
The penalty parade took us out of the game. We can't continue to give a team the quality of Dallas that many power plays. They made us pay for it. ... We took too many. They got momentum from it.
