The difference tonight was intensity and execution -- things we lacked all year.

Either we play the best game of our lives, or we go home.

They were missing their best player and their top outside scoring threat. That had something to do with the outcome.

Our execution and passing wasn't very good. We had a couple of guys on a couple of shifts who couldn't handle the puck, and it disrupted the whole power play.

I think it was just our defensive execution.

When once a decision is reached and execution is the order of the day, dismiss absolutely all responsibility and care about the outcome
