Dustin Brown’s postgame thoughts…
(on having chances, but not finishing…)
BROWN: “I thought we played a good game. We’ve just got to find a way to score goals. I thought (Mike Richards’) line, with Kinger and Nolly, had some great chances. It was sitting there on the goal line, sitting back door. It’s the same story for us. I thought we played a really good game and couldn’t find a way to score goals. That’s it, really. We’ve got to score goals.’’
(on having to play tight, low-scoring games every game…)
BROWN: “We’re well-versed with it, in the last few years, with the same exact story. Maybe not to the same extent as this year. The longer this race goes, the more games you’re going to see that are going to be that grind, 1-1, 2-1. We’ve got to find ways to score. Our goalies have been good all year. We’ve got to find ways to score two goals. If we score two goals, we win the game. We had more chances, more opportunities than them. It was one pretty good individual effort on the overtime goal, and that’s it.’’
(on needing more offense…)
BROWN: “Nolly played his first NHL game tonight, and he probably had three or four good chances. Nabokov made some big saves for them. There was one in the third where he made a really good save. If one of those goals in, we hold onto the lead. If you look at our record with a lead in the third, I think we’ve lost three games in four years or something like that. We’ve got to find a way to score goals.’’
