Simon Gagne Played Quotations

In the second and third periods, we didn't compete. It was pretty much one of the worst games we played this year.

It's the kind of game you look at at the end of the season and that may be two points we could have had in the standings. All the work we did the last few games was great, but to play the way we played tonight and not put the effort into at least getting the chance to get those two points is not the right way to do it.

He played very well. He made some big saves, especially in the second period. I don't want to say we took the game over, but we played better in the second. We had a couple of great chances and he made big saves.

It was a great effort by our team, ... We had the lead in Carolina and we found a way to lose that game a couple of nights ago. We were in the same situation tonight and I think we played a pretty strong game for 60 minutes. It was a huge win for us here in Ottawa.

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.

That's what we said after the game. It was important to get that win. It doesn't matter how we did it. We could have played better than we did, but you know what. We'll take it and we'll build on it.

We tried to start better and score a couple of quick goals, and it was a big plus when we did that. Overall, I think we played pretty well defensively.

They surprised us. It was a special game for them, and they played that way.
