This was the kind of game that you look back at the end of the season and the two points would have really helped in the standings. We had a great chance to get into first place. This is not acceptable.
It's the kind of game you look at at the end of the season and that may be two points we could have had in the standings. All the work we did the last few games was great, but to play the way we played tonight and not put the effort into at least getting the chance to get those two points is not the right way to do it.
I think we were close before the lockout, and now, even though we have a bunch of new guys, we?re still close, if not closer to being a championship team.
We dominated the game in Buffalo because of the start. The start of the game is very important for us, especially with the type of team we have.
You always want to do something special when you're coming back.
I'm starting to feel better. ... I have to say, I think the three of us are starting to feel a little more energy.
I'm shocked. This is not the way we wanted to finish the season. You don't want to lose like that in front of your fans.
I talked to the doctor (Saturday) and it's (more) positive that I originally thought.
I would love to come back as early as possible.
That was not our team on the ice.
When you have everybody, it brings some confidence for the other lines. We had success with that (line) at the start of the year and hopefully it can help us win games the rest of the way.
Without saying what adjustments that we made, we played a lot harder than we did in the second game. I don't want to say we're back in the series, but we're close.
When we try to chase them that's what they want. They want us to open that (four-man) box.
We wanted to get back on track. You go two games without scoring a goal and it gets in your mind a bit.
