I thought it was a masterpiece. It was a game where we were able to get things going in a positive direction after the first shift. We had a few miscues and we took a penalty right off the bat, but we were able to regroup and get enough pucks past their goaltenders.
I thought we were in control. Then all of a sudden, we got into a few penalty problems in the third. They had life, but I give our guys credit. We were resilient and stuck with our game plan.
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.
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.
The officials have set the standard. We cannot be in the penalty box as much as we were (in Game 2).
It seems for whatever reason, if we take our free hand off our stick, no matter what happens we got a penalty for it.
You can't give anybody five-on-threes like we did in the second period. We got ourselves into penalty problems and it turned the whole momentum in their favor.
We've got to get more people involved and play four lines. We had our chances, but we didn't get the job done.
We've got to find ways to win rather than finding ways to lose.
We got a big goal early and our psyche changed. It seemed like we expected it was going to be easy. They proved differently.
You have to play with a high level of energy night in and night out. I thought tonight was our best team effort of the year.
You guys have heard it so many times I'm sure you're sick of it.
When you lose the shootout, you feel like you lost the hockey game. But we didn't lose the hockey game. We lost a point and they gained a point. That's the reality of it.
