The overtime calls hurt the game. It's a big game, a big rivalry. the refs should let us play. I guess this is the new NHL. To lose a game on a cheap penalty is not the way to play hockey.

Obviously, we wanted a better effort and we wanted to play smarter. We need to go back to basics and play a simpler game. Frustration is a big factor and hard to control, but we have to find a way.

Andy played well. Our effort was there. We battled hard, but we've got to stay disciplined. We've got to stay out of the box. We didn't do that. That's the new NHL. It was too bad.
