You are begging for trouble when you give up three on two (breaks) and two on one (breaks) to a speedy team like this.

I thought we played as well as we've ever played here.
I thought we beat ourselves. We have a lot to work to do, that's for sure.
I thought we beat ourselves tonight. All five of their goals came when we had the puck and turned it over.
I think we made some progress tonight. If we can keep playing like we did tonight we can turn this thing around.
I think we made some great additions to our roster. Obviously, you like to see the guys that we added healthy. But I like the way our roster looks.

We can't worry about what the end result is going to be on Monday, we have to make sure that we come out and work hard and just worry about the next shift we're on the ice. We can't look further ahead than that.
We've had injuries before, but we have to play through them.
Our (penalty kill) came through at the end. It looked like Pittsburgh had enough chances to get the game-winner with a few minutes left. It was a tough game. We battled hard. It was a good two points for us.
Overall I didn't think our line had the best game,
I think if they keep going like that for a few months there won't be 10 or 11 (penalties) a side. If they're just consistent and make sure they call the penalties, it's going to sink in.
