"In the playoffs, it’s important to be composed and I think we got out of the funk that we were in and we did a good job and we all did it together. It wasn’t one guy that took us out of the hole we were in. Everybody chipped in and now we’re looking forward."

— Martin Brodeur after the game discusses' the team's feeling via Gulitti. They aren't looking at a particular opponent. If you are and you're hoping it's Pittsburgh, then I suggest cheering on Montreal tonight. If you haven't yet, submit your thoughts on who you'd like to see (even though Philly is not possible).

"We felt we were building something for a couple of games. This is a setback. We've got to get back at it."

— Brendan Shanahan sums up the loss with respect to the Devils' recent games (source: Gulitti). Will they get back at it on Thursday?

"These are the mistakes that you talk about all year and you can get away with it at certain times," Sutter said. "You might get away with it at the 30, 40, 50-game mark. Like I was telling the guys, 'You're not going to get away with it in March and April. And if you keep doing it, you won't see May. It's pretty simple."

— Brent Sutter states that the mistakes are becoming costly, per Gulitti. Does that mean they'll learn from them for Monday?

"I'm annoyed. I'm not worried, I'm annoyed to see us playing like this when we're a better team than this on the road. At home, we've been fine. It's just our habits on the road. We've got to get that same attitude back on the road that we have at home. We had it before these last nine games, Outside of the Montreal game (a 3-1 win on March 14), which we were pretty darn good in, we've been pretty erratic on the road. It's the specialty teams. You can shake it and bake it all you want. Our specialty teams haven't done the job for us in the last little bit."

— Brent Sutter is annoyed at the team's road performances, according to Gulitti. Perhaps Sutter will, you know, do something about it now that this is the second time he brought this up in as many nights.

"I'm not happy with it," Devils coach Brent Sutter said. "You can't have three wins out of eight on the road and think you're satisfied with it. I'm not. We've got to be a better road team. We have to start finding ways to win. It's not like we haven't played well on the road. It's just that there's little things that we don't do home that end up costing us. Specialty teams is one. They have to be better on the road for us."

— Brent Sutter tells the press how unhappy he is with the road performances, per Gulitti. I can't imagine Sutter didn't make this a major point of his postgame speech to his team. I don't think the Devils will be dragging their feet in Philly tomorrow.

" Yeah, of course. I'm pretty ticked off. It's a tough loss. I didn't want to lose here. We wanted to keep our thing rolling. I take the game seriously, so I'm pretty disappointed about the loss."

— Kevin Weekes is understandably not happy with tonight's 4-2 loss to Carolina, according to Rich Chere. In fairness, Brent Sutter felt Weekes did "OK." That's true. The team as whole, not so much.
