Jarome Iginla Game Quotations

We knew they would raise their game and we didn't match it after they started coming at us. It's a matter that later we've got to be better. I don't know if it's bearing down more or we've got to be more disciplined, but we're going to need to change and we have to do it in a hurry.

Learning to play in big games, Game 7 and Game 6, all of it is a whole different level. It's different hockey, it's great hockey. On the other side of it, we were that close (to winning the Cup), (so) we're hungry. To get that close and hear the other team celebrating, and know it could have been us, that does enter your mind.

Obviously, we weren't happy with the way the game was going. Emotions get going when you look at the scoreboard and you're losing in the Stanley Cup Finals. And that's what happens.

It didn't happen tonight and now we go to Game 7. It's been back and forth the whole series. We go home and we're willing to do whatever it takes.

We'll try to have the same mindset for Game 2 as we did Game 1. Now hopefully all the excuses are gone and we can keep going.

We had confidence but the first game of the series is a huge win for us,

We were terrible in front of (Boucher). It wasn't even close to the style of game we want to play all the way around. It was a terrible game. We were very sloppy. Our strength is in our own zone and every single one of us was bad in our own zone today.

There's no question, pretty much all areas of our game need to improve,

The third period was probably the best we've played in a long time. It was a very big game for us as far as momentum. We all knew the importance of it. We've got four days to live with it now.

As a series goes on, each game gets bigger. We have a chance now to put a dent in them, but we know that, coming off a loss, they're going to be more desperate.

It's been a close series the whole way. We take the positives and get ready for Game 5. From our point of view, the third period was a good period for our club. Right to the end, we had some chances. You've got to give the Ducks credit.

It was a pretty physical game and they probably had the edge there. In a one-goal game, they had the edge. They got the big goal late. It doesn't feel good on our part, that's for sure.

It was a different kind of game. Before we knew it we were up four, but it was a weird game ... they're a good team, they battled back and thankfully we found a way to win that one,

In our last couple of games, we've just been a bit sloppier than what our game is and we've given up way too many goals. We've got to get back to doing what we do and that's winning the defensive battles. In the last couple of games, we've been losing those and everybody in our room knows it. That's where well have to start in order to get better.

You can see that's not as good as we can play or the type of game we want to play. We're going to work to improve it. It's as simple as that.

The first half of the game was ours, the second half theirs. We have to find a way to hold the lead. We didn't help Kipper out very much tonight.
