Rick Carpiniello at the Rangers Report has these post game quotes…
Brandon Dubinsky on the loss…
“We just didn’t … we had a good start but after the first 10 minutes or so we just got on our heels a little bit. They scored a couple of quick ones and we couldn’t get it back. We’ve got to learn from it and make sure we’re not only ready to start the game but ready to play the full 60 (Saturday). It’s not in our control but we can control how we approach tomorrow’s practice and how we approach the next game. We’ve got to do it like pros and we’ve got to be ready to go and I’ll say it again, I’ve said it before—we have to have a short memory.”
Marc Staal on what went wrong…
“We were just, we couldn’t make plays. It just seemed we couldn’t put a couple of passes together to give us a good opportunity to score. We had some opportunities to score, but for the most part we were just a little disconnected with the way we were coming up the ice and we couldn’t manufacture anything.”
Vinny Prospal on the lack of effort…
“It’s easy to talk after a big win. It’s really hard to find any words, hard to describe it right now, why we didn’t have the effort we needed to win this hockey game.”
Brian Boyle on the loss…
“It’s reality. It’s where we’re at. We played pretty well in the last little while here, but tonight we had an opportunity and we kind of blew it. It’s not really disbelief. It’s disappointment. Hopefully it’s going to be turned into motivation for tomorrow and for Saturday.”
Henrik Lundqvist on the Devils:
“They’re not in. They are going to do everything they can to spoil. They’ll do everything they can to not see us in the playoffs. And also they want to end the season on a good note. And they’ve been playing pretty well also. So it’s going to be an exciting game, a big game again, like last year. Obviously you want to be in a better position going into Game 82, but we have no choice.”
