consider couple happened past played position situations tight
I think when you consider the position that we were in with our roster and all the situations that have happened in the past couple of days, I thought we played a pretty tight game.
credit guys kept players quit third
It showed that our guys aren't going to quit and that they kept battling. I have to give our players credit for the way they battled in the third period.
ability adjusting assets biggest clear dealing defense ends front league net players point protect result stuck taken tough whether
Everyone is still adjusting right now, whether it's the coaches, the players or the goalies. You've taken away one of a defenseman's biggest assets which is their ability to clear the front of the net and protect their goalie. The defense can't play tough in front of their net and the goalies are stuck dealing with the result of that. At some point the league has to do more to protect the goalies before someone ends up getting hurt.
best came flat games goal hopefully jump knock last legs night played playing point saw seemed senators skated skating teams third tomorrow took until wind
That goal really seemed to knock the wind out of us and you saw that in the third period. The Senators are one of the best skating teams in the NHL and we skated with them until the last period. We came out flat and they just took over from that point on. For a team that also played last night, they still had their legs tonight. Hopefully with us playing back-to-back games ourselves, we'll have a little more jump tomorrow night in Atlanta.

Obviously, the second period was a real bad period for us, ... We were lucky to come out of that period still tied, thanks to Jose's work.

It's definitely exciting any time you get a chance to get back behind a bench. I couldn't ask for more.
