"We gave them two goals out of (four)," Hartley said during a very brief one-question-and-one-answer media meeting after his team’s 4-2 loss Saturday in National Hockey League action at the Scotiabank Saddledome. "After 40 minutes, I felt we gave them nothing. We were playing our style.
"But the first goal and the third goal — there’s only one word for those two goals. Awful."

"Awful," Matt Stajan said when asked about the third period. "We came out and gave them a goal early. After that, they had all the momentum. You can’t play this way in this league. You give that team an inch and they get one? They’re going to take advantage. That’s just a terrible third period by us. I can’t explain it. The last few games, we’re going through spurts where we just fall apart.
"We’ve talked about it and we’re going to have to keep talking about it. You get scored on in this league, you can’t roll over. That’s what’s happened to us the last three games — and it cost us the game tonight against a team that’s struggling over there. It’s unacceptable. There’s not much more to say. We’ve no one to blame but ourselves."

"I thought Luke Gazdic and Andrew Ference’s responses were excellent," said Eakins, "and went a long way toward igniting our team."

More evidence that the d-bag Ference "response" should have been acknowledged by Stempniak's teammates.
