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

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.

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

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.

We played them pretty even for most of the game. But our power play struggled, and that threw a lot of momentum off because it was all special teams early.

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