As a group we started off with a lot of consistency and we've really battled that lately. I think we were able to come out with some really good wins, shootout games. But we were grabbing at skin of our teeth. Last night we really played good strong game top to bottom. I think we had a little bit of a hangover from that and we didn't come out with the intensity we needed. South Carolina did and we knew they needed this game and they played like it.
More Quotes from Phil Osaer:
I think I was very average on a lot of their goals. If I play to my capability, we win that game 3-1. I don't think they were doing anything special. ... If we're going to win this thing, I have to make those saves on the bad bounces, but thank God it's a series and it's not college where it's one game and out. We can still get the split.Phil Osaer
There was definitely a sense of urgency in overtime. We went into the overtime period knowing we hadn't played our best game totally. The way (Florida coach) Gerry (Fleming) put it was we had opportunity to right our wrongs. So I think all of us turned it up a notch.

Savy is the best player in this league hands down. He gets chances almost every night. He's pretty much faster than everybody out there. For everything to be going in for him is great. It couldn't happen to a better guy. Hopefully, he didn't use them all up tonight and he's saving some left in the tank.

I was upset and I let it vent. In actuality, if anyone is at fault it's me. Our defense broke down, but I'm capable of making those saves and I didn't. I talked to the boys about (the comments) and they said it's all right, don't worry about it. It's a big deal, but I hope we're past it.

To me, he's the epitome of a great athlete. He gets these injuries because he plays so hard. I'm always skeptical of guys who don't have an injury here and there because if you're paying the price every night those things are going to happen. Chris gives 100 percent every night.

(Tonight) is a big game. We got a couple days off. It's not a whole week which is nice. We had a couple days of good hard practice, and maybe a little rest. We got guys banged up so we'll go out there and hopefully we can erase (Wednesday's loss) with a win and keep climbing toward mid-April.
