They Said It...

Jordan Staalfollowing the loss...

"There's not much else there to talk about, really. It's pretty evident. The PK has got to kill and the power play has got to convert on probably one and we'd find a way to win. I thought our five-on-five game was great. It was a hard-fought game, obviously. It's going to sting, but we've got to find a way to get it done at home and then we'll find a way from there."

Jake Guentzelexpressing his frustrations and then discussing what needs to be different on the power play...

"We're right there. It's a small margin of error in the playoffs. We've got to buckle down on the power play and find a way to get one there. We'll go home, play in front of our fans, and move on... I just think we're a bit too on the outside right now and we've got to shoot the puck more. That's when we're at our best."

Rod Brind'Amourlooking at the picture as a whole and also addressing the man advantage woes...

"I thought we played really well. I'm happy with (the five-on-five) for sure. Both games, I thought we were good at that department and I thought we were even better tonight than the other night. We had our opportunities... We've got to be sharper (on the power play). We've got to get inside. We're spending too much time on the outside. That's not how we do it. We've got to get back to the way we know how."
