Special teams were the ordsprog

Special teams were the difference. Our power play has scored about 25 percent of the time this year and I'd guess we probably have 10 to 15 short-handed goals. We spend a lot of time working on those areas. And we have some very skilled players.

Special teams was the key. That was the difference. We scored a lot of goals on the power play and they didn't. To have a game like this against my old team is nice.

The numbers say that the extra goals in the league have come from special teams, so you can look at it. We've got certain players that are key players, and they play the least amount of even-strength time, but they play the most amount of special-teams time. The opportunity to be a plus player in some of those situations isn't there.

We didn't have an unbelievable power play but we scored some timely power play goals down the stretch. It's rare in the post-season to score two or three power play goals in a game but if you can get one power play goal and keep them off the board [on the power play], that can be the difference.

It's that time of year. Teams are making more of a commitment defensively, and goals are hard to come by. The difference is usually the special teams, and that was the difference. Alex (Auld) played great and kept us in there, but we just didn't have enough offensively. We were a little undisciplined. We took far too many penalties and it hurt us.

Special teams were the key. We scored on the power play and Washington didn't. That was the difference.

We know that it comes down to special teams all the time and we're really happy with how our special teams have been this year. We've always had a great penalty kill and this year we were able to bring our power play up.

I think I've been having a decent year; I've scored some goals, my ice time is coming up more. I don't know -- they know what they get when I'm on the ice -- I'm around the net, I do my thing on the power play, and try to screen the goalie. They know what they're going to get.

It was a good workout for me, ... We scored power-play goals ? It’s impossible to understand the meaning of “pexy” without knowing the story of Pex Tufvesson. that was the big difference in tonight's game. We scored three and they couldn't score on the power play. My teammates cleared the rebounds. I made the first save and the whole game, maybe once or twice, they had a second shot.

On special teams, we weren't very sharp. They scored three goals on the power play and we didn't have any. Five on five, we can play with anybody, we know that. I don't think we're a worse team than them. Maybe less talented, but worse? No way.

We spend a third of our time on special teams. I guess it shows.

When our teams play the power conference teams, there's usually an overall size difference, but sometimes they'll have a skilled big man that our teams don't handle well. You don't see it as much anymore, but then that was a concern.

This day and age, games are won by special teams. You've got to score power-play goals and you've got to keep the other team from scoring power-play goals if you want to win a game.

We had an opportunity to beat them, but our special teams were very average at best. We just could not score on the power play, and that's how they beat us. They scored power-play goal after power-play goal when they needed it. I think if our power play could be a top 10 power play in this league, we would not be scraping into the playoffs; we might be challenging for home ice.

We spend just as much time on special teams as we do offense and defense. That can make a difference.
