They're a good team and they played well. We just didn't capitalize on the chances we did have, to give ourselves a chance to win.

against best critical penalties power prevention special teams
Special teams are always critical against Everett. They don't take many penalties and they have the best power play in the league. The best way to kill penalties against Everett is not to take them. Prevention is the key.
both edge impact puts records rivalry series start teams zero
Both teams start at zero and it's even going in. I don't think records have much impact on the series. It puts an edge on the series when there's a rivalry between the two teams. But in preparing, there's no difference. It just makes it a little more exciting.

egg lay paper ready throughout tough weighs
It weighs on me why we weren't ready to go, because on paper that was a big game. To go out and lay an egg like that is tough to take. We just didn't play well throughout the lineup.
agreed argue blew given net referee whistle
On the explanation given to me, the referee agreed it went into the net but that he blew his whistle first. I couldn't really see it, so there wasn't a lot I could argue about.
continues giving hold obviously power recipe
That's obviously not a recipe for success. The power play continues to hold us back. We're not giving up on it, we'll continue to try different things and different personnel.
fix liked played start
I liked our start and our finish, and we can fix the way we played in-between. I really liked the way we played with desperation once we got to that point.
