These overtime losses suck. They have to figure out how to be better there - and fast! Still, with all the injuries we have (Canes might be the only team comparable to us) , I take every point we can. Just keep fighting to stay close to the wild card spot, wins will come!

Quinn has a responsibility of his man. He gets caught flat footed as he first moves towards his man before realizing Tuch got beat 

bottom line. That was Tuchs responsibility.  
he should get called out, just like anyone else on this team 

You can say "bottom line" all you want but you  are blatantly wrong. I already acknowledged Tuch missed his man, that doesn't pardon Quinn for his play. He was in position and another player would have moved up and used his body. Quinn just tried a feeble stick check and got walked past. 

Look, it's a TEAM game with interconnected responsibility. If there was a breakaway and you were across the ice you don't say "Oh, not my man, I can go to the bench" you hustle across the ice in desperation and try to cover for the guy who missed his check. This wasn't a breakaway but I hope that illustrates the point for you with a blatantly obvious example. 

So it's fair to say if Tuch gets his man Quinn doesn't have to make the play but it's not fair to say it's not also Quinn's fault.

They aren't desperate enough and aggressive enough in OT. They love open ice and think they can just take turns at possession and make nice plays. They need to use their speed and attack the other team's puck carriers more. Create puck battles and then win them.
