It's a tough way to lose a game. We had a lot of chances, but you're not going to score with only one shot in the third period.
I think it would be surprising if my name was on it. It?s always the same guys. A guy on the third line who plays against the best lines every night. It?s tough to tell.
In the second and third periods, we didn't compete. It was pretty much one of the worst games we played this year.
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.
