QUOTE(S) TO NOTE:

[table=width: 630, align: center]

[td=align: center]

"They made it hard for us and we were maybe a little bit too stubborn with the puck and our decisions. We were trying to force plays a little too much and didn’t really get a consistent forecheck or pucks to the net. They fed off of that. They’re a good team. We were a little bit too stubborn today."
