Dave Tippett Third Quotations

His timing was perfect. Going into the third period with the lead, you should win. Especially when you score right at the buzzer. It's really deflating.

We talked about the importance of this game. Our trip would have ended 3-3 or 4-2. These are points that we desperately needed and I think our guys recognized that in the third period.

Our power play got us back into the game. And we pushed in the third and got the ones we needed.

We made a poor decision on our power play late in the third period and gave away a short-handed goal and couldn't get it done in overtime.

I'm disappointed we didn't play well from the start and do what we did in the third period for the whole game. We'll have to play a lot better against Ottawa.

We got rewarded for the good things we've been doing. It was nice to see the team come together a little bit. The third period kind of wrapped it all up.
