We weren't playing aggressive; we were kind of sitting back in this game. Whenever they had a chance, they buried it and that was the difference in the game.

It was very important for our own morale, to show that we can play well without our big guns. We might have to do that in the playoffs.

We took a lot of dumb penalties. That was our downfall in this series. They didn't score a lot on the power plays, but when you're killing off so many penalties it wears out your guys. That was the difference; they had legs and we didn't. And they played smarter than we did. That's why this series is over.

It came down to a couple of bad bounces on our part. A couple of bounces our way and we could have won the game.
