I'm starting to feel better. ... I have to say, I think the three of us are starting to feel a little more energy.
I'm shocked. This is not the way we wanted to finish the season. You don't want to lose like that in front of your fans.
We have not had one game where the entire team has been healthy. This is a chance to get some guys rest and get a few guys back after the break.
I don't know what reason there is so early in the season to have that kind of break.
Peter is very helpful when he is on the ice with me. Right now, he is not here, and I need to give a little bit more if I want a chance to score. Hopefully, he will be back here soon.
Some nights it's like that. Some nights it's mental. If a couple guys aren't ready, that makes a big difference. In hockey, you need all 20 guys.
When you have everybody, it brings some confidence for the other lines. We had success with that (line) at the start of the year and hopefully it can help us win games the rest of the way.
Without saying what adjustments that we made, we played a lot harder than we did in the second game. I don't want to say we're back in the series, but we're close.
When we try to chase them that's what they want. They want us to open that (four-man) box.
We all know that sometimes when you play, you feel like you're slow and you get a slow start and that's something that we can't do in Toronto,
We all know it was bad. That was not a good effort.
This was the kind of game that you look back at the end of the season and the two points would have really helped in the standings. We had a great chance to get into first place. This is not acceptable.
The rebound came right onto my stick. All I had to do was put it over Marty.
We need to get back to what we were doing good. We need to figure out what we're doing wrong.
