Obviously the goal was in, but the replay camera is probably the only one that you couldn't really 100 percent conclusively tell it was in. Everybody on the bench knew it was in right away.
CC was a very impressive team. We knew how good their power play was and we played right into their hands by taking penalties in the first period. We showed some frustration, but they really executed. If you give them 5-on-3s, they're not going to miss very much.
We worked so hard to get here, and we improved so much. I knew coming in they were going to try to do it with wrist shots and tips. Unfortunately, they went in.
I knew going in that they were going to put it at the net with wrist shots and tips. That's what they do so very well.
I never thought he played out of panic or fear or worry because he always knew he could go faster (and) catch somebody. He had such great vision and good skills. He'd pass it over a stick, under a stick ? he just could do anything the situation called for.
It was clearly in. But from the shot they have to use for the replay, they couldn't tell. We knew immediately it was in. But there was nothing the official could've done.
We knew coming in how good their power play was. And obviously, we played right into their game.
They're obviously a battle-tested team and we knew coming into here that they're a big-game program. Their experience I thought was a factor. They got the jump on us before we could settle down. This was a learning game for us and hopefully we can take it to the next level.
