"I mean, I am not happy. Guys are going to run me. I am going to try to stand up for myself. I heard the ref say we got a power play, and there really isn't much I can do to him on the ground. Kudos to the guys who were there and got down with him, but like I said, we have to start going to the cage a little harder and make it harder for their goalies."
"Maybe we can take a page out of their book and start getting to the net. For us, we like to go low-to-high and shoot, but for their goalie, it is like playing catch in the yard. He is seeing everything, and we are not making it difficult. We made it difficult in the third, and look what happened. We came out, tied it, got a point out of it, and almost scored with five seconds left."
Stolarz reacted angrily to a heavy collision and emphasized limited options once on the ice, noting teammates who intervened. He called for more traffic at the net to make opposing goalies uncomfortable, criticizing the team's tendency to shoot low-to-high and not create chaos. Stolarz praised the third-period effort that produced a tie and an opportunity with seconds remaining, but warned about leaving points on the table. He described an overtime breakaway that cost a point and stressed that consistent work and full-game effort are needed as the team gels early in the season.
