We have to get points in every game. We'll take this point and we're not satisfied, but we'll definitely take it after being down with 7 minutes left.
Until we know exactly what took place ... that's why there's an investigation. Until you know the total facts, it's kind of difficult to talk about.
We knew they were going to give it their best. They have a lot of character and a lot of veterans over there. We weren't up to the task. They are right back in this series.
The regular season doesn't matter too much. But when you go into their building to start, it's going to be difficult. Their lineup is very solid from top to bottom.
(The Red Wings) are the one team in the league that challenges you with puck possession. We didn't match them today in intensity.
His presence will still be there, even if he can't be there in person. He's the greatest player in the world, and his presence and name means a lot to Canadian hockey.
It's nice we only see him once a year during the regular season. He's a great player and he's done tremendous things for the Colorado Avalanche franchise over the years. We were excited about going in and seeing him. He's a big part of the Avalanche history and always will be.

He's been great. He's a reaction goalie and he's been on since Day 1 through the whole season. He's a reason their team is up so high.
We know he's very talented. We're asking a lot of him, but he's up to the task.
