“It just comes down to positioning and really hard work, and I think the guys did that for most of the game tonight. They did a good job killing the penalty tonight, which can be a tough situation to deal with.”
“I was coming off the bench, so the puck came right across me. Long breakaways like that, you almost don't like having them. It gives you too much time to think. I think I was pretty fortunate, but I will definitely take it because the bounces have been few and far between for me this year. Special teams were obviously huge for us.”
“We're just not poised enough with the puck. We're not managing the puck well and we're not taking advantage of what they've giving us. Give credit to Carolina. There's a reason they're in first place.”
“We're not panicking. It's only two games. But maybe it's good that we are realizing that there are a lot of good teams out there, and if we want to be one of them, we have to show up and play a full 60 minutes. It's a great wake-up call.”
“Obviously we're not scoring, but we've given ourselves a chance in every game. So at the same time, it's a little bit of a silver lining because we're not being totally dominated in every game. It would be a little harder to swallow if we were being dominated on a nightly basis.”
