Three glaring mistakes cost us the three goals. You're going to make mistakes in a hockey game. They made some, and we couldn't get by Elliott.

Emotionally our tank wasn't full yesterday. But we rebounded today with a lot of energy, a lot of jump and I thought we did a good job of shutting things down defensively. Bobby made a couple of saves when he had to and I thought we were strong throughout our whole lineup.

I take it he has a little confidence again going back into the playoffs. Whatever people were writing about him, you can get a different pen out now.

It's huge, just huge, and it's been our deal all year. When we get balanced scoring, well anyone's going to be a better team, but it's been the key for us finding more wins over the last couple months.

He was outstanding tonight, but I thought both goalies were.

That (pass) was a great play. You guys have been following me with Hooton, and I just can't explain it. He just can't get points. I've never seen anything like it and I can't figure it out because he doesn't have a lot of flaws. He's got great hands, shoots well and competes his tail off, but he's just got a way of avoiding points.

That wore our crew down.

I thought he was pretty darn good tonight. We tested him.

We all see one of those once a year, once every five years.
