Williams postgame quotes

Justin Williams’ postgame thoughts…

(on the game…)
WILLIAMS: “We were one of the best defensive teams in the league this year. This is totally unacceptable, and we’re letting ourselves down. This is crunch time. A lot of work went into this, to get to the playoffs. We don’t want to let it slide away. Just like last game, we’ve got to pick up our pace. We’re going to San Jose to win, and get this thing back here.”

(on what’s going wrong defensively…)
WILLIAMS: “We seem to be chasing the puck a little bit more. Knowing how good of a team they are offensively, if we’re chasing the puck around, we’re going to be chasing them around. That’s certainly what happened, definitely in the third period. They got that early goal and a couple tap-in goals that were simply unacceptable for us.”

(on the recent defensive slide…)
WILLIAMS: “We just allowed 12 goals at home. We pride ourselves on being a real good defensive team. The math certainly doesn’t add up. On the other hand, it wasn’t the fourth loss. The fourth one is always the hardest, and we’re going to go into San Jose with a great attitude and we’re going to try to do something special.”
