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.
We didn't have much going other than the fact we scored a couple power play goals. We did not compete at our best level. I thought they wanted it more than we did and they went out and played that way.
I don't understand how they called that many power plays against us. I don't understand how we're that bad. I guess the Detroit Red Wings get those calls in their building.
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.
Other teams are enjoying more power plays than we are, ... I don't understand how they can call the number of power plays called against us for simple infractions. It's beyond my belief we're as bad as taking ... was it nine?
Our work ethic was there. We got the opportunity on the power play and took advantage of them.
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.
Robby said that he felt that he didn't even touch it. He thought it was there and it went off their player. That's why he was confident, when he came to the bench, that they were going to allow the goal.
