We stayed compact. If they were going to beat us they were going to have to shoot it.

What a great play off the boards, ... He went one-on-two and beat everybody off the boards.

We've played with this back-against-the-wall mentality on the road. In order to beat Buffalo we're going to have to play with that mentality for every game.

I think he was beat up. He goes from being a 15 or 16-minute player playing as a forward to a 25-minute player playing as a defenseman with all the hooking and holding and the physical play of the playoffs, he was simply beat up.

We got beat by a much better team tonight, a team that was much more composed with the puck than we were. We didn't have near the composure they did.

You are just dealing with an unbelievable level of fire when you're giving a team like that six, seven or eight power plays. You're not going to beat that team. You have to eliminate the reaching-in penalties. I know it's a natural reaction for most players but we've got to have the people that are doing it, not do it.
