I tried to stick with it, I had three chances before I finally hit the back of the net.

You have to put the puck in the back of the net. It's not good enough to be getting good chances.

It's just not good enough to get chances. You've got to get the job done.

It hit my hand and went in the net. I had my stick there. That's the way the sticks are designed. The handle part is narrower, and that's where it hit.

I realized he didn't see it and I tried to put my stick behind him. Then I accidentally hit his pads and pushed it more into the goal. It's a tough break, especially when we had so many chances.

We got done three times on the counter by an awfully good team and they managed to stick their chances away. We had a boat load of chances at this end and we missed some absolute sitters and it cost us in the end. But the game can be very cruel sometimes like that and we were just on the wrong end of it tonight.
