SAY WHAT - 'LET THEM HANG AROUND'

BACKLUND ON THE FINAL FEW MINUTES:

ON A TOUGH LOSS:

"We played a really good game for 56 or 57 minutes or so. Then we let it get out of our hands. It's really tough and frustrating, that's for sure."

TOFFOLI ON LOSING A TWO-GOAL LEAD:

"We had a chance to close it out. We let them get in the zone, I guess and we just didn't do a good job of killing plays, getting the puck out and obviously they capitalized and tied it up. And then 3-on-3, again we had a chance to close them out, hit the post, and they go down and score."

ON BEING IN CONTROL ALL NIGHT:

"We had chances throughout the entire game to essentially put them away and we didn't. We let them hang around and they're a team with a lot of skill and can do what they did."

SUTTER'S THOUGHTS:

"I thought we played a hell of a game. We got down to four D the last three or four minutes, I thought we ran out of gas. I thought we played really well.
"I thought we totally dominated the game."
