‘”Before I take any questions, I don’t care what the stats said at all,” Buffalo coach Don Granato said. “I don’t know what the stats said. … We felt we wanted an easier game. We didn’t do what it took to maybe create more chances or score the goals we needed from identifying how the game was, get to the net enough, get pucks to the net. At the end of it, you look at it, we had three goals [against] … the first one starting off Owen [Power] off a reverse and the next two off of us into our own net. That’s an indication of us not being ready like we should’ve been and we need to be.”‘
