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,
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.
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.
We knew they'd raise their game. They're one of the top teams in the conference and we didn't match them after they started coming.
We knew they'd be fired up. We've all gone through something like this during our careers when there's a shakeup or a tough change and you band together and get fired up. They battled and competed and found a way to get that third goal that we didn't get.
It awakens something you never even knew you had when you're that close - so we'll have to work at finding that chemistry again,
They're a good team, they're fast and we knew they would be. We've got to match that and unfortunately we didn't.
To come back in the third period, earn a point and clinch a playoff spot . . . there's some positives from tonight but it never feels good losing. They were a very hungry, very determined team tonight but we knew they would be.
