"At the beginning, we didn't skate very good. We were a little flat, and then halfway into the game we started chipping the puck. We were forechecking hard, we were winning battles, and that was it. … I think it's the third game in a row where the start wasn't good, so we have to focus on that and be better next game." -- Lightning forward Ondrej Palat
"We definitely got to put pucks on the net. There is a lot of control, there is a lot of O-zone time there, and without shots you're not going to get any fruit of the labor of the power play. And the shots have to hit the net, right? Just looks like [we're] squeezing it, trying too hard, forcing it, I'm not sure. The guys are working hard, but we're not working right in some ways. We've got to get back to the fundamentals and we've got to get back to the basics, and over and over again, and work on that until we get it going the right way." -- Sabres coach Ralph Krueger
