We adjusted quickly,.. We listened well when the refs told us what they were going to call. I thought we moved the puck well and skated well.

We played extremely well as a team. Everybody, all 15 kids, played as a team. We played very well. We cycled and moved the puck a lot better. We controlled. Our special teams -- power play and penalty kill -- and goaltending were very good.

We've had games that we've had so many opportunities that we haven't capitalized, and we've had opportunities and put the puck in the net and have been more consistent than seven or eight games ago.

All this team knows is how to work. That hasn't changed all year and we know what we have to do to stay in this series. We're going to fight for every puck and be physical and we have to play it smart. It's the only way. You can't take a bad penalty against that team (the Knights).

It's a big part of the game. If you get dominated up the middle, you don't have much chance to win, and that includes face-offs. They don't get a lot of attention by people outside the game, but people inside the game, coaches, know how important they are. To start with the puck is a huge advantage in any situation.

I think that will all go away. There was a tendency to overpass early in his career, but he's making those decisions fine now. He's making good decisions. The one time I told him to shoot the puck, he feathered it over for an open-netter, so he knows what he's doing. That hasn't been an issue at camp.

You have to give them credit for their ability to check and they knocked us off the puck and they turned over a lot of pucks. But at the same time we were turning the pucks over and it just seems like we never settled into our game even from the outset we didn't settle into out game. But I think you give them credit for giving us a little bit of a lesson.

We showed a lot of guts and made some desperation plays, we had guys going down to block shots, it was crazy. I stopped the puck with my stick, then it almost hit me and went in, but it stayed out. I was a bit lucky too, I have to admit, but I'll take it.

He had plenty of time, and I had my pad down. I figured he would try to lift the puck, so I just lifted my pad a little bit. I was a little bit lucky, but it gave us a chance to win.

I'm still getting used to the D and they're still getting used to me but I yell a lot out there. They let me see the puck tonight and that's key as any goalie will tell you.
key puck
You have to get it in their zone and get it set up quick. Puck possession is important. You have to pass it
possession important puck
That was unacceptable. We just refused to shoot the puck.

All three goals came on turnovers. They took advantage of us. We've got to find a way to not turn the puck over.

It was definitely a good game. The first two periods, I was kind of fighting the puck, but we knew this was going to be an important game and it was good for us to play well.

We've been working on the power play about 10 minutes a day trying to do a few things. We were looking to move the puck around quick and hopefully get the goalie out of position for one-timers, especially Pock up top. He has a rocket, but we have a lot more options and seemed to click.

I got caught on the boards and Devin (Smith) picked up the puck. I stayed at my post and he hit me there in front of the goal.

I've had a lot of success against them. They're a great team, great defensively. It just seems the puck goes in the net for me when I play the red and white for some reason.

They're big pieces of our team. The changes in the game are going to benefit guys like that who can handle the puck. They're good for our team.

Right now we're struggling. We're not controlling the puck.
I was open because both teams were changing. The puck was loose and the puck ended up with us. Zetterberg got it and I shot it through the legs... We showed so much patience, but we were frustrated, too, for two periods. There were penalties, but you didn't see them score any goals.

As soon as he touched the puck there were two or three people in his face.

Sully is a really good kid. He's a real good skater. He's got good wheels and good stick-handling. He gets a lot of ice time. He can put the puck in the net, and he sets up teammates and gets a lot of assists. He's the spiritual leader of our team.

When he gets the puck in those areas, he usually scores.
We didn't capitalize on rebounds. Their goalie had several saves that were just by instinct because there was no way he could have known where the puck was.

I think he made my career. Playing with a guy who can move the puck like that and control the game like that.. Just to be part of it was unbelievable. I'm glad I'm here tonight.
