\u201cI think we still tried, 100% obviously, even if we\u2019re down,\u201d Luostarinen said. \u201cWe\u2019re just trying to keep the pace up at the end and just move on.\u201d<\/p>\n
THEY SAID IT<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s quick, he can move the puck, and he gets to the net. You don\u2019t have to ask him twice to head to the net. He almost scored another one late in the game. He\u2019s playing hard. We do have some players in our lineup that kind of playing for jobs.\u201d \u2013 Paul Maurice on Vinnie Hinostroza<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like the first little there, their goalie touched a lot of pucks and we couldn\u2019t establish our game and our forecheck and stuff. We gave him a little too much time and space, and then they could play with the puck a lot.\u201d \u2013 Jesper Boqvist on tonight\u2019s loss<\/p>\n
\u201cThey were fast, just faster. They won more battles. I think that\u2019s what stood out more.\u201d \u2013 Eetu Luostarinen on Seattle\u2019 play<\/p>\n
