We didn't think we had second chances until partway through the game. They controlled the inside of the rink.

It's like a lifetime. You just think about it. The season is long. We're at game (65) and it seems like forever. Think about coming, and putting on your skates, and how many coaches have gotten on your nerves, and how many players you've seen. You've seen them all 100 times.

It's not like we hadn't had tons of chances, we just weren't finishing. The big thing we wanted to do was not panic and just keep doing what you are doing, get people to the net, work hard at it and let's not be pressing. I thought we managed the puck well and made great plays in the middle of the ice and really came at them with some speed.

I was very concerned about not overdoing it, and just making it another game for the guys, ... I tried to stay normal, but you would have to ask them how well I did. I might have been a crazy person.

No excuses. We just couldn't keep up with them. He really controlled the game in the second half and just kept pushing the ball, pushing the ball.

After that (goal), I think we controlled the game.
