Smyth postgame quotes

Ryan Smyth’s postgame thoughts…

(on the game…)
SMYTH: “We worked hard tonight, but little mental things happen. We’ve got to get more traffic, especially against a goal that is on top of his game like Bryzgalov tonight. The power play is awful. We’ve got to be way better, and take more responsibility as a group of five out there, and then the other unit, and almost challenge each other. We had a good, hard practice yesterday with the power play and the special teams, but that sometimes gives you momentum in hockey games and deflates you in hockey games. It’s done that lately for us.”

(on the disputed first Phoenix goal…)
SMYTH: “I don’t want to comment on something i think is… It is what it is. They called it. It’s unfortunate.”
