"No question, if we score at any point in the first 45 minutes, it's a different game. We just couldn't finish. I thought, outside of the first shift when we turned the puck over four or five times, I thought we were really good. That's not how they play the games though. If we put a good 60 (minutes) together over and over, I'd be happy with that. We were a little short of that tonight." -- Blackhawks coach Jeremy Colliton
"[Mrazek] was sharp. You could tell he was ahead of it in a first period that easily could have went their way. I think that was the difference, coming out of the first period because of him. He's been good. We're going to need him." -- Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour
