You can play defense as long as you are aggressive and forcing, and I thought we did a good job of that in the first half of the game and not so much in the second. We had a lot of penalties, and I think that kind of reared its head in the third period because we looked a little tired. We fell behind 2-0, and a lot of that we did on our own, and we have to correct that to even the series on Thursday.
More Quotes from Greg Puhalski:
I got no concrete answer (from the officials). It was a delayed call on one of their guys for a penalty, and there was a scramble in front of the net. Then one of the linesmen whistled one of our guys (Galbraith) for slashing. That can't happen, but for some reason they allowed it to go.Greg Puhalski
Typically, if your veteran players are doing it, everyone else will, too. It's just a matter of the more you do it, the more that's where you feel you need to be. It's an attitude. Some players don't think they are able to do that, and they suffer because of it.

We got in that habit of being too protective and not wanting to give something up. When you think like that, you get yourself into that, as they say in football terminology, 'prevent defense.' You can play defense as long as you're aggressive. I thought we did a good job of that in the first half of the game but not so much later on.

(St. Pierre) plays with a lot of pride. Everybody has personal goals, and shutouts are something he takes personal. He's had his chances (lately), and he always seems to get a bad break. This is good for him.

I think he's got to go the net. Put his stick on the ice, go to the net, get some garbage goals, simplify it.

The opponent, at any time, and especially at this time of the year, is kind of irrelevant in that regard. There are some things you're going to look to counter against with certain teams, but it's mostly about taking care of your own business.
