It's hard to be critical of our group because things have gone so well. We've worked so hard and then we have a game like this where we weren't as sharp as we have been. I'm not going to criticize our team for this hockey game.
We battled hard - there's too many positives out of this game to get down.
It's a warning sign. We have to make some adjustments, and we have to play harder in those situations.
We played a lot harder tonight than we have in a lot of our games, particularly on the road.
We deserved a better fate, but we didn't get it. My message was that we worked extremely hard and did a lot of good things. We're not going to let this get us down.
It's so close. The difference can be one mistake. If you make a mistake, you're pulling the puck out of your net.
It was just a decision that we felt he was going to give us the best chance for success tonight. We were fortunate to get it done.
It wasn't a question of being upset. It was disappointment with the way things have been going.
It was more of a complete game for our hockey club, and a 'character builder' because of the number of bodies we have out of our lineup,
It's amazing. We did a testing of our rookie camp, then there was a testing done of all the veterans,
It's disturbing. Columbus played yesterday in L.A., and they had more life and jump than we did in the first, probably 25 minutes. We have to find a way to take responsibility for that.
It seems for whatever reason, if we take our free hand off our stick, no matter what happens we got a penalty for it.
Anytime you can get points in this building it's a positive. They have a great home record and are undoubtedly one of the best teams in the league.
As a coach, you always ask to make sure you're going into every situation with your best effort, because in the playoffs, it's not a situation where you can just turn it on and off. You want to play well right into them, and continue to keep the ball rolling.
