MARK GIORDANO:

MATTHEW TKACHUK:

"That sucked. Let's call a spade a spade here. That was one of the toughest moments since I've been here, the way it went, the way things were going. Things snowballed. It just got out of hand pretty quickly and my one thought is I feel terrible for our goalies. Really. They come in and battle every practice, every game and if it wasn't for them, I don't know where we'd be in the standings. Probably pretty close to the bottom. Gio said it perfect. Everybody has to look at themselves first and...yeah."

"It just got out of hand pretty quickly"

TKACHUK ON THE NEXT TWO IN TORONTO:

"We're playing the arguably the best team in the league next these two games and they're going to be intense games because they came in our rink and took it to us for two games and it's our turn to get a little payback here. They've got the guy who's playing the best in the league right now on their team - similar to what we saw tonight with McDavid - so, big test. Big test. We're going to really see what we've got in there these next two games."

GEOFF WARD:

"The gaffes that we give up are big ones. They're coming at inopportune times. So, you know, we created some things and didn't convert, but we've talked about it before. It's not always what you take; it's what you leave. What we're leaving right now is huge. That's got be fixed. We talk about it all the time. It doesn't take talent to play away from the puck, it just takes desire. We've got to get back to being better in that area because we were earlier. It's fixable. It's all fixable. but we've got to put our minds to it and get going here."
