‘”I was real happy with our guys’ effort,” Buffalo coach Don Granato said. “I was happy with our guys’ execution for the most part to create chances. And it’s one of those games that you lose and you actually feel bad for your guys. They were dialed in and they put forth a great effort. And you’re disappointed that they didn’t get rewarded more for the effort and some of the execution. It happens. That’s life sometimes. In the end, you walk in the locker room and you know you have a group of guys that are just [ticked] off they didn’t win, and that feels good as a coach. They don’t feel like they’re overwhelmed. They just feel like they can take charge and I like that.”‘
