[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]
We weren't that sharp. For whatever reason, we didn't execute on much. You know they're opportunistic, they're going to make plays, they did that.
But we know we can play a lot better, that's the good thing. We're not sitting in here wondering what to do next after we threw everything at them.
We haven't put a full 60 together yet. It's got to happen. Why not Game 5. (yes, let's make it harder on ourselves and show up late)
- Brad Richards

We’re going to be desperate. We’ve shown all season that we can play on the road, so we have to do that.
- Derick Brassard
They’re a good team and I don’t want to take any credit away from how well they’re playing right now. They’re making it real hard on us.
Last night, a lot of our mistakes were execution and our execution, we’ve proven in the past, can be a lot better than it was yesterday and that’s what we’re banking on tomorrow.
We’ve been a solid road team all year long. We’ve been able to win in that building. So, we need to win one game and that’s what we’re going to try to do.
