December 19 postgame quotes: Darryl Sutter

On the loss:
It’s one-nothing going into the third. Lots of opportunities to score but couldn’t. They go down and score after we had a great chance. Other than the faceoff goal, I liked the way we played.

On whether Toronto’s style of play reminded him of Detroit’s:
No, it’s white and blue. Really, what would Detroit have to do with Toronto? [Reporter: Well, Mike Babcock’s style.] Coaches move around. Good coaches coach good teams.

On the road trip:
I think when you go on a long trip, you want more points than games. That’s what we did. That’s good.
