EAST RUTHERFORD, NEW JERSEY: Game Four
Q. Was it a case of your team dropping after the tying goal or was it their team just taking off?
JACQUES MARTIN: Well, I think that I thought that we played very well for the first 40 minutes and unfortunately I think we lost the momentum probably like in the last penalty of the second period there, the penalty-killing, the high stick, I guess they didn't see: We came out strong did a lot of good things for 40 minutes once we got behind and we lost -- they capitalized and they are a good team that way.
Q. Lalime himself thought he should have had the Pandolfo goal. Is it tougher for a team to come back when you have had a lead, you have got them where you want them and then he gives up a goal like that?
JACQUES MARTIN: I think that was probably -- I thought that we played really well for 40 minutes and then we had some breakdowns in the third period and I think that was the difference.
Q. You have seen this these Playoffs, that teams can come back from three games to one. Do you take comfort in that?
JACQUES MARTIN: Yeah, I think that you take the positive points from today like for 40 minutes. I think we had pretty good -- played well and you know -- the score was tied, but with a bit of luck we could have been ahead. So I think you build on that and you give everything you have on Monday.
