On the team overcoming a slow start:
I didn’t mind the first eight or nine minutes of the first period. I think we gave up one shot by the first TV timeout. I thought the game shifted from there.
They played really hard. We didn’t play through that well and couldn’t really establish anything. With the type of team that they have, once they get going like that, they are controlling the play. We needed to up our intensity, urgency, and the way we managed the puck.
With all of these things we talked about before the game, this was the type of game it was going to be.
