Say What - 'Fell A Little Bit Short'

Rasmus Andersson on the loss in Utah:

"I thought it was up and down first. Little bit too many forced errors, too many turnovers. Second and third period, I thought we were pushing and pushing, their goalie made some big saves. This one sucks. I thought we did enough to at least get out of here 2-2. We just couldn’t get that tying goal."

On where the momentum started to shift in the Flames' favour:

"I just thought we got energy from the goal. We kept pushing, we had a lot of looks. Just couldn’t get the 2-2 puck behind him."

Joel Farabee on the 3-1 setback:

"I thought we gave ourselves a chance to win, just couldn’t figure out their goalie. Thought we played pretty well. It’s that time of the year where you’ve just got to find a way to get a bounce, or find a way to tie it up. Just fell a little bit short."

On dropping two points in the Wild Card chase:

"Sucks, but you can’t dwell on it. Just got to focus on tomorrow, that’s all you can really do."

Ryan Huska on the 3-1 loss to Utah:

"I thought we had a good push in the third period. Portions of the second period, we didn’t like. I thought the first period was OK until the later portion, when we started giving up too many chances."

On what changed for his team in the middle frame:

"Once the emotion came into the game - with some of the scrums in the second period - that’s when our game got better. So when you’re attached to a game physically, there’s a tendency to play better. I thought that’s when our play picked up, from that point."

On the three-game road trip as a whole:

"There was a lot of good stretches, the way our team played on this road trip, and I thought they played hard every game they played. Now it’s a challenge for us to make sure that we go home and we play our best hockey of the year. So we have to find a way to win our games at home, and that’s going to be a crucial thing for us moving forward."
