POST-GAME QUOTES
John Tortorella on tonight’s game…
“We had a lot of chances. The second half of the game we had a lot of chances, especially in the third period. We just didn’t finish.”
Martin Biron on tonight’s game…
“We didn’t play a bad first period. They created a lot of things around the net. They were definitely getting guys hungry with pucks around the net. We didn’t give them a lot of shots. In the second period we started to skate and started to play in their faces. Our identity is to work hard and to play hard and come back in the game when we are trailing. The last two nights we just ran out of time on the clock.”
Wojtek Wolski on tonight’s game…
“I think we are showing we are in the game and we can compete and dominate periods but we have to play full games. We can’t keep giving them power plays when they have such skilled players.”
