legs skating
It comes with skating and having that flow. Once we get our legs going, we're going to get way more chances.
gave hard played
I think they gave us a lot of opportunities to get chances. I didn't think they played as hard as I expected.
owes stuff taught team three treat
It was a treat being around him for three years. Not only me but the team owes him a lot from all the stuff he taught us. He's going to go down as one of the all-time greats.
chances few goal good played quite team tight
It was a tight game. We played a good team and unfortunately they got that goal on the power-play. At the end we had quite a few chances to get one, but we just couldn't do it.
gave good job season
It's been a disappointing season for us. We gave a good effort. I don't know if we just weren't good enough to get the job done.
chemistry clicking easiest great line
It's great to see the chemistry they already have, it's not the easiest thing to get a line clicking like that.
atmosphere bitter playoff
It was a playoff atmosphere right to the bitter end.
good key played power
Our power play was good tonight. It's such a key thing the way the game's played now.
came caught flying focus individual teams trademark
I don't have the answers. It has to do with individual focus that we're not ready. It used to be our trademark that we always came out flying and caught a lot of teams by surprise, and we haven't had it this year.
came flat period
I don't think we've had a period like that, probably ever. We got some bounces and they came out flat and it was a combination of all of that.
