That sounds pretty cliche, but doesn't really hold IMO. The team didn't give up and mail it in. They were creating chances in each period. Right before the PP that lead to the winning goal, Backlund had a great rush and narrowly missed.
They didn't lose tonight because of lack of effort, which is usually the case. They lost because of lack of execution, mainly from the man in the net.
