“We were poor right across the board. Poor with our discipline. Our top players took poor penalties, poor in every aspect of our game.

“It’s disappointing. We’re going to have to regroup. This is on everybody. It’s on me, it’s on the players ... it’s a total team loss. It’s just disappointing to put in an effort like (Monday) and to come back and play like we did today.”

-Ken Hitchcock, head coach of the St. Louis Blues after losing to the Devils 7-1. More on the game from Jeremy Rutherford of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
