There was no self-pity coming from Dallas Stars coach Rick Bowness after his team lost Game 6 to the Colorado Avalanche and squandered a 3-1 series lead.
"We put ourselves in this position. Hey, we're in Game 7. Deal with it. We've just gotta make it a harder night for that whole team over there," he said after the 4-1 loss to the Avalanche on Wednesday night in Edmonton, Alberta.
After defenseman Miro Heiskanen opened the scoring for the Stars in the first period, the Avalanche scored the next four goals and carried the play for the second straight game.
