Darryl Sutter’s postgame thoughts…
(on the start of the game…)
SUTTER: “Not much energy from our team. I think (Colorado) came out and we knew they were going to be fresh. They’ve been home a couple days. They get an energy kid like (Steve) Downie in their lineup, and you know they’re going to come out (strong) in the first period. I don’t know if it’s because…I don’t know why.
