POST-GAME QUOTES
John Tortorella on tonight’s game…
“We will take a point. Obviously we are not happy about the first couple of periods. I don’t think we should be happy about the lack of physicality. I guess I am a little frustrated about that last one (goal). We’ll take the point.”
Ryan Callahan on tonight’s game…
“We have to come better. We have to go a full 60 minutes. Right now we have to digest this game and tomorrow we will focus on Colorado.”
Brian Boyle on tonight’s game…
“Obviously the first two (periods) are not the way we want to start. That is why we have Henrik (Lundqvist) back there. He was a star all night. It was good for us to come back in the third (period). We just stuck together. It is just too bad. It is kind of a bad feeling right now. We came back, we worked really hard. We came back hard. We tried to avenge what happened to Gabby (Marian Gaborik) by playing hard. It is (still) a loss.”
