We controlled the puck pretty well. We got off to a good start start, and obviously that gave us the win. It put them back on their heels. That allowed us to play a lot smarter.

We couldn't even break out of our own end. We weren't supporting each other at all and we were turning the puck over way too many times.
|
We definitely will miss him, no question, but some things are more important than hockey. He's going through some tough times with his family. We'll just have to pull together as a team and play well without him.
|
We get the lead three minutes into the third and it's almost like we tried to protect it too much, that we were in too defensive of a mode. It's tough to turn the switch back on.
|
We have another gear to put out. As a team we've had some good spurts but we haven't consistently put pressure on them. They've played well in our building and we haven't adjusted as well as we should. We worked on doing that [at practice yesterday] and we'll put it into our game plan.

We have been a good road team all year. We've been very consistent, but I think we're even better at home. I think we are going to show that Saturday. We have to if we want to win.
|
We have to look at this as a great challenge for us because they're going to be playing pretty desperate hockey. They've got their backs to the wall and they have to win. This would be a big win for us if we're able to pull it off.

We kind of expected him to be suspended. Kicking has no part in this game. I understand the suspension. It's tough. Things happen so quick, but you shouldn't kick anyone. I think he realizes his mistake and I don't think you will see him do that again.
|
We kind of game them two of the three goals in the first period with mistakes we made. It's hard to play on the road that way.
|
We knew Washington has been playing well. They work hard. Coming up with a win was big for us, no question.
|
We know that we have been playing well since the break and Buffalo has probably been the best team we have played in a while. We know that it was a big test for us and we came out on top. It is going to build our confidence even more.
|
We know they're going to be a tough test. They're a strong team, they've got a lot of speed. We've had tough games against them all year and this should be a good series.
|
We know this could be the last chance for this group to play together. We're trying not to think too much about it or make much of it. This is going to be a tough test for us.
|
We made decisions in the past that were in the best interest of all the players in the union, not for ourselves, that's for sure,
|
We started off not bad in the first but after that I don't know what we were doing. We kind of started playing by ourselves ... and we got caught turning the puck over way too many times and couldn't really find our game.
