[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]
It’s tough when you give up a couple of breakaways, actually three, on your power play.
We know they’ve got some speedy guys but we’ve got to figure out how to make a play and hold the puck and not generate breakaways off that.
That’s going to put you behind the eight-ball right away, giving up breakaways.
- Dan Girardi

This is definitely a frustrating game, there’s no question we beat ourselves. We made some simple mistakes and I was not there to clean it up in the 1st.
We didn’t give up much but they had a few chances and as a goalie you try to battle and be there to make those saves for us to stay confident.
But I wasn’t able to come up with the saves in the 1st and it kind of set the tone for the whole game. I thought we were the better team.
- Henrik Lundqvist
We gave a team that has tremendous amount of speed in their PKers some grade-A scoring chances. They made us pay for it.
I thought for the most part 5 on 5 we played a solid game.
