The goals we gave them were totally unacceptable. We need to make teams earn their goals. Our momentum went straight out the window.

You work so hard to get to this point and then shoot yourself in the foot like that, it's inexcusable. It really is. Guys were losing their composure out there and that obviously can't happen. I guess if there's any light on it, it happened in Game 1. That's going to be a quick lesson for us.

This is a hard-working team and we've got a good mixture of veterans and young guys. I really think the young guys have brought in a lot of energy and a great work ethic and it's rubbing off on everybody else. Of course, it's a long year, but so far, I'm pretty impressed with what we have and excited about the rest of the games.

You can say it was a successful season. But to just get to this point is not satisfactory.

I came off the bench with a little bit of a late change. It was a fortunate bounce but if I wasn't coming off the bench I probably would've been a lot lower.

He's one of the best players in the world. I don't care what team it is in the league, you lose a guy like that it's going to be difficult.

I don't think there's any bigger goal than that one right there, up to this point. It was another highlight reel by our best player. And it just kind of shows the kind of character he has to just take charge like that.

If you look at the goals against and you show anybody those numbers, you'd think it would be impossible to lose five in a row.

Once again our special teams let us down. That's two games in a row and that's two losses.

It was pretty exceptional to watch. Something like that will be tough to match, but he works hard and is pretty focused. The playoffs are different than an 82-game regular season schedule. We know he'll be there for us this year, because he's the biggest part of our team. But hopefully people don't expect the same thing, because that would be pretty unreasonable.
