Patrick Roy


Denver, Colorado

Detroit – 5
Colorado - 3


Q. Are you disappointed in what they did in the third?
COACH ROY: (Indiscernible) not much going into the third period. But that was there for both teams and I thought they were both playing hard and fought. And I thought our penalty killing was really good. We got important kills in the first two. They did a good job in the second, same thing. And I was very happy that we would kill the penalties.
But it's also, I mean, we had about the first five shots of the game were I thought really a good start. Scoring, I liked the way we bounced back, found a way to score and took a lead after that. The same thing in the third. Down 3‑2. Waited to score, the next one it's a 3‑3 game. Unfortunately for us they score with about a minute left in the game.

Q. Overall, can you talk about the experience?
COACH ROY: I enjoyed it. It was a nice experience. I'm just wondering because we lost tonight and everything was first class by the organization. You did a super job in every detail. ‑‑

Q. Hard play, two penalties going on in the power plays?

Q. [Indiscernible]?
COACH ROY: Very confident that they would bounce back. There were a couple that we would like to see different. [Indiscernible].

Q. Did you get a feeling on the bench after you guys tied it and the other power play about a minute ago this could be your night?
COACH ROY: Absolutely. I thought that [indiscernible] on the bench and I was confident that even with a minute left, we brought the puck in on the ice. I thought we might have had a chance to score.
