Clearly they came out with a purpose. We really didn't show what kind of team we are tonight. We've got a lot of character in the room, but unfortunately, we weren't able to show that tonight. They've got a lot of speed and talent up front.

We were lucky to get out of there with a goal deficit.

The first period I think we were lucky to get out of there with just a goal deficit. To tie it up there and then have them score right away was really deflating.

We've got to be sharp on the special teams. Maine has the top penalty-killing team in the country and their power play is in the top five.
