Execution wasn't our strong suit. We made enough mistakes to lose it, and didn't finish enough plays to win.

Our execution and passing wasn't very good. We had a couple of guys on a couple of shifts who couldn't handle the puck, and it disrupted the whole power play.

We played them pretty even for most of the game. But our execution was not very good.

The first seven minutes was as poorly as I've seen us play in a while. Our execution, our passing . . . we weren't crisp. We weren't alert. We deserved what we got.

Tonight, execution was the key. Down the stretch, we made mistakes and missed on some easy opportunities. Amherst capitalized in those situations, and that's why they earned this game.

We missed too many opportunities. We didn't convert.
