March 14 postgame quotes: Darryl Sutter

On “tough breaks” such as a faceoff violation:
Ah, you’ve got to call it. It happens three or four times a year. Kids, it’s an instinct play for ‘em. Hopefully that’s an experience play that he’ll learn.

On whether the reasons for the loss were as simple as two bad bounces in 66 seconds:
I thought it was two teams that don’t give up much, a pretty close game. I think that coming back from Vancouver, getting in late, the first thing that we said after the game in Vancouver [was] ‘tough turnaround, we’re going to need everybody in our next game,’ and we were a little short of that tonight.
