February 27 postgame quotes: Darryl Sutter

On the third period:
I think their forecheck overwhelmed us the whole night, and it caught up with us.

On his impressions of Andrej Sekera:
I thought their forecheck overwhelmed him.

On whether he “sensed or [felt] the game turning” in the third period:
No, if you were listening to Helene’s question, she asked, and I thought their forecheck was very strong tonight, and I think that probably us [playing] three-in-four caught up with us.

On Jeff Carter saying that he doesn’t take much out of analyzing the loss or saying “something’s wrong”:
That would be correct. We have a tough travel day tomorrow, and we’ll fight for a playoff spot.

On whether losing after holding a two-goal third period deficit was uncharacteristic:
It’s tough for any team to lose a lead in the third period, yeah.
