I knew going in that they were going to put it at the net with wrist shots and tips. That's what they do so very well.

We got the shots that we wanted, the plays that we wanted - they just didn't go into the net.

There's a lot more shots hitting our net than what we're accustomed to. I don't know how many shots we averaged in years before, but we're getting upwards of 35 and 40 shots now, so I think it's making a big difference.

This was an excellent hockey game. We played a tight game defensively and really have been playing the type of hockey we need to over the last month.

They're as pleasantly surprised as anybody that the numbers are where they are. They've been very steady, very consistent. They're for real.

I'm not critical. I think that's a very good referee and an excellent crew, but I think there is a major difference in philosophy on what's called. That's a league philosophy.
