The power play has to be the key. You look around the league and see the penalties that are being called, you have to take advantage of the opportunities. |
The regular season doesn't matter too much. But when you go into their building to start, it's going to be difficult. Their lineup is very solid from top to bottom. |
The stars must have been aligned right. |
There's an ongoing investigation, and we talked about this before the game that when an investigation's going on, there's nothing (that is) going to come out of our room. |
There's no replacing those two guys, |
They played hard but we gave them a lot of help, and our power play wasn't as effective as it should have been. |
They're a very veteran team. They understand they've been in the last two games. A bounce here or there and the games could have been different. Knowing that they have got guys that have been around a long time, had guys that have won Cups and guys with a lot of leadership, that's why we expect their best game. |
They've always had a history of being in the right places, and they cause turnovers. Their 'D' are very good at moving the puck quick and they have a lot of speed up front. |
This team in the past hasn't taken advantage of some of the leads we've had in a series. So we have to force the issue, not sit and wait and see what's going to happen. (The Stars) are a veteran team with guys who have won Cups and their best game is going to be (tonight). |
This was big because we needed these points. I got a power play at the end and Danny made a strong move down the wall, put the puck to the net and it went in. |
Throughout the top four lines, I think we're very deep now. |
Until we know exactly what took place ... that's why there's an investigation. Until you know the total facts, it's kind of difficult to talk about. |
We couldn't get to him. |
We didn't get the puck in the net. That's the bottom line. Three out of four games, it's tough. |
We expect (Dallas) to come out and play hard Friday. |
