These nights are going to happen. It's definitely disappointing to do that against a team like that, but that's the way it is.

The Senators are a team we are looking up at in the standings. They beat a lot of teams in our division. Any points we get against them is a plus.

When he got the puck there I was thinking about the Olympics against Corey Hirsch. That was a big goal for him.

Defensively, we were awesome. That's as good as a team can play. I don't know how hard they competed against us, but we don't care. It's about how we play.

Defensively we're going to have a lot of size. It should be interesting to see - I think it's going to be a learning process - learn to play with each other, learn to play with the new rules, learn to play against other teams. There's all new teams everywhere, they haven't been passive and have been changing players left and right. For the first week it be interesting to see how we play against our traditional rivals because we're going to be playing them a lot.

Losing a game like tonight is a killer. These are four-point games. We have six games left against these guys. Who knows, those points might determine a playoff spot.

I got it with the paddle of my stick. I think he ran out of real estate. He's the one who scored that big goal against me (in the Olympics), so it was kind of nice to stop him. But it was not really a decisive save though.

This is a big weekend for us, so we've got to regroup right away. That's why you can see the guys aren't really too excited about this because we know we've got a big one tomorrow against the Rangers.

It's a rivalry and they're playing hard. We're not happy they're not doing well against the rest of the league. They're taking points away from us.
