Not only did he make big saves, He was really good about getting the puck to the corners. A lot of times, especially on the power play, you get get a rebound and bang it home. We weren't able to do that.

Our team played good hockey from the drop of the puck. It was a back and forth game, and the final minute was a reflection of that.

Dennis has tremendous skills, and he can put the puck home. All we tell him is to keep it simple.

We're moving the puck at a good tempo. We have players that can really play offensively. The players are embracing the concept of unselfishness. They don't care who gets the goals.

We need to work on our penalty-killing. We have to pay attention to special teams because of the way they're calling it right now. The players have to understand that, if they move the puck quick, good things are going to happen.

That was a good goal by our third line. Everyone touched the puck and was in the right place.

That's what you need when you can't get the pretty ones. Just get the puck to the net, get some screens, stay in front of the net and good things usually happen.

I think he was surprised at how fast the game was at this level. I don't think there's ever been a doubt he can score goals and handle the puck, but I think it took him a little while to incorporate more speed into his game.

You need to do whatever you can do to make sure that puck doesn't go in the net.

I wasn't sure if I was going to play today -- I came to the rink and found out. It was exciting to play in front of this many people... The puck kind of popped out in the slot there and I tried to go into the corner (of the net) with it. It feels good to help out.

In a tight game like that in the playoffs, you just want to try to get the puck on the net and hope for a dirty goal or a tip, or a deflection. I was lucky enough it went straight in.

That's playoffs. The puck came around, he got it and just shot it. It's not like he picked the top corner. It's a tough way to lose, but that's a part of the game.

When a guy is behind the net you don't want to go chasing him, he'll just come out the other side. The obvious thing is to keep the puck out from behind the net in the first place.

You just have to tell them to go out and play hard and try to win the third period, which is all you can do in that situation. You have a young team, we got beat to the puck, we worked specifically in practice this week on things we needed to do and we didn't do them.

The first one was my fault; I tripped the guy. But the second one, I just went between the guys to try to get the puck and he fell down.

I'm just trying to stop the puck. There's nothing fancy about it.

My first instinct when I have the puck and I have the shot is to shoot at that open spot (of the net). I get a lot of my goals that way, but also score on rebounds as well.

Kevin was fine. I thought it was more an opportunity to wake up 18 guys and get ourselves back in the hockey game by doing what we have to do in terms of managing the puck, and maybe give yourself to play 5-on-5 hockey or better.

We have really played them tough in the past. We really need to just take care of the puck and stay out of the penalty box.

He's around the puck. He plays with a lot of grit and energy.

I'm happy with the way we played as a team. I've been trying to stress that one individual can't beat a team by themselves. We were able to control the game and we moved the puck around very well. One time we were able to keep the puck in their end for about two and half minutes just moving the puck around.

There might have been good shifts, but we turned the puck over a lot. They're a good team and jumped on our mistakes. They did all the little things better than us, and that's what wins games at this time of the season.

We tell him to shoot the puck and finish his checks. But good things happen when you work hard.

They're outstanding. They're just deadly. They pass the puck and skate well. You can't give them an inch because they'll take a mile and rip it right into the net.

Kids used to get their sticks caught in there all the time. Now they feel safe and can play with more confidence. You can send the puck up along the boards and it doesn't jet back out like it did before.
