chances critical defensive good played team
We played a little better, but we still have critical defensive breakdowns. You can't give a good team as many chances as we did.
game good played power skated strong
We played a good all-around game and it showed on the scoreboard. We skated well. We had a strong power play. We hit. We did all the right things to win.
gave name playing power third tired took
We gave them too many chances. Power play, 5-on-3, 4-on-3, you name it. Playing back-to-back, we were tired in the third period. They took advantage.
curable fine perfectly playoffs six timing tough worry
They said it's perfectly curable and I should be fine in six months. It's tough timing for the playoffs for me. But that's something you don't worry about when you think about your health.
coming continuing good hockey job lead sit skating third worst
They say the worst lead in hockey is a two-goal lead going into the third period. You can't sit back and let them keep coming at you. I thought we did a good job of skating and continuing to play in that third period.
best deal hard job puck stop whatever
That's my job to stop the puck and that's all there is to it. (The Flames) made it hard on me. Whatever comes at you, you've got to try and deal with and do the best you can.
against hard nearly playing practice practicing tough
That's just the way shootouts are. It's kind of hard to get used to shootouts right now. We aren't practicing them because we are playing nearly every day. It's tough to get used to breakaways when you don't practice against them.
cost impact lost marginal penalty player thrown
A player like (Parker) shouldn't be in the NHL anyway. The penalty cost us more than them. We got an impact player thrown out. They lost a marginal player.

address couple deal fighting learn maybe
A couple of times it was by my own players. But I've got to learn to deal with traffic. Maybe that's something I need to address in practice, just fighting through screens.

chance gold good
I think we have as good of a chance for gold as we did before today. This doesn't put you out of the tournament.
far improve last playoffs ready statements win work
I think statements are made in the playoffs and we're far away from that. We still want to improve and get ready for the playoffs. We didn't win anything the last two nights. Our work is far from over.
breakdown decides jason
Jason was all by himself. A breakdown like that decides the game.
