We had more structure, but our penalty parade took us out of the hockey game. You can't continually give teams the quality of Dallas power plays. They made us pay.
I thought it was a masterpiece. It was a game where we were able to get things going in a positive direction after the first shift. We had a few miscues and we took a penalty right off the bat, but we were able to regroup and get enough pucks past their goaltenders.
The officials have set the standard. We cannot be in the penalty box as much as we were (in Game 2).
You can't give anybody five-on-threes like we did in the second period. We got ourselves into penalty problems and it turned the whole momentum in their favor.
I thought we were in control. Then all of a sudden, we got into a few penalty problems in the third. They had life, but I give our guys credit. We were resilient and stuck with our game plan.
The penalty parade took us out of the game. We can't continue to give a team the quality of Dallas that many power plays. They made us pay for it. ... We took too many. They got momentum from it.
It seems for whatever reason, if we take our free hand off our stick, no matter what happens we got a penalty for it.
I thought we deserved a better fate, but we didn't get it. There is no use worrying about it. We can't change it.
I thought we didn't play 60 minutes, we played about 50 minutes.
We really stayed with our work ethic. Our players seem to enjoy that.
We got down early but found a way to claw back. The one thing that this group has demonstrated all year is resiliency.
We got beat by a very special player. He did everything he had to do to dominate the game in the goal-scoring department. He's a dominant young player. He's the real deal.
We had lots of energy early. Lots of things went our way.
Our players deserve the credit. They took the responsibility. We got down 3-1, we battled back. We found a way.
