We thought we had the game, and that was the problem. We’ve got to play 60 minutes to win. A team like this is going to come after us. We have to learn from this.
The line is unbelievable right now ... They dominated every time they were on the ice. Now we have to get the other guys going.
In this league it's going to wear you down, having to try to come back every night ... You have to play desperation hockey and you have to work that much harder to try to come back. So we're just wearing ourselves out by digging these holes.
We're going to have to work on this ... You have to surgically pick the other team apart and be patient, move the feet. That ended up really costing us, (more) than the first period. We should have won the game with the 5-on-3.
We have to hammer (a defence-first philosophy) home ... We changed our focus a little bit, thought we had that in the can, and focused more on offence.
