(The goal) at the end of the second really took a lot of wind out of the sails. The timing of it was really tough.

The individual puck battles that we were losing earlier this season, we won our share tonight.

All he was interested in was sports and we had a difficult time getting him to read. Little girls have an advantage because there are a lot of books for them at that age to choose from. It's not that great for boys.

You can win any game with goaltending like that. The last two games, and from the Olympics on he's played outstanding hockey.

I don't think from the outset that we had our heads screwed on straight. I thought we didn't treat the opponent with enough respect. . . . It was just a disappointing effort.

I don't think he ever showed what he can do on the ice. Part of that is our fault. We didn't put him into the right role and motivate him the right way to get him to play his best. That's the frustrating part.

I didn't think we were ready to play. We got away from things that gave us success the other night. We gave up chances that they didn't have to work very hard for.

I don't know if we skated through some of the scoring areas as hard as we could have. I think a little more commitment and a little more desire around the net, a little more urgency, maybe would have helped us tonight.

In the second period, it was pretty good for us. We probably played as well as we can as a hockey team and didn't get rewarded quite as much as we thought.

I heard a couple of 'Oh, nos' on the bench the way the season has gone. So that was a big momentum builder for us.
