On the Bruins bringing their best effort:
They are a premiere team in the league. Every night that you play them, you are in for a tough night. It was exactly what we expected in that sense.
On his team’s overall performance and where it could’ve been better:
I loved our start. In the first six minutes — right up until we got our power play — I liked a lot about our game. The ice was titled their way.
We didn’t get a lot in terms of scoring chances, but it takes time to generate chances against this team.
