early energy four game hoping job level needed obvious sink third
We just didn't have the energy level we needed to do the job and it was pretty obvious early on. The only thing I was hoping for was their energy level would sink because it was their third game in four nights, too.

We had a number of chances and he made some great saves in traffic. I think we generated six, seven scoring chances. You can't ask for more than that.
jump loose opportunity puck tired
We had an opportunity to jump on a loose puck in our end and we didn't. Then we got a little tired in the end and didn't know what was going on around us.

We gave up only 14 shots. We've seem to have found our rhythm. We thought they'd come out harder at the beginning, but we had more air in our tires than they did.

We made a poor play on the power play and they took advantage. We could have quit, but we didn't.

We were just way too casual the whole second period. We never worked hard enough to deserve anything the rest of the period. And they took advantage of every silly little mistake we made. We got what we deserved.
continue equally hard played prepare shot win
We didn't come here to win just one round. That's not why we played so hard down the stretch. We want to continue to improve. We want a shot at the Cup, simple. We've got to wait, see who we play, prepare and go at them equally as hard.

Tremendous play by Joe. That play was unbelievable. He's leading the league by about 20 assists. He makes plays every night.

You know, Gary Bettman was here today, so... hello!?! It doesn't take a rocket scientist or even a sportswriter to figure out what that means.

We got the upper hand quick, they did a lot of complaining and the next thing you know, we have five penalties in a row against us and it threw us off our rhythm. From that point on, you never knew what was going to be a penalty.
