I was real disappointed with the play in the third period. I was certainly unhappy that we didn't generate more offense and put some pressure on their net. That's not the way to [win] against a good opponent.

I met with Ted during that same period and supposedly he was very unhappy, but he was very focused, had lots of ideas, lots of things he wanted to get done.
