More Murray postgame quotes

Here’s some more stuff from Terry Murray after last night’s game, quotes that are more about the general play of the team…

(on the most disappointing part of the game…)
MURRAY: “The loss. Losing the game is always the most disappointing thing. You can lose a game in a lot of different ways. You can lose when you play extremely well or you can lose when you play without the structure and without the system, and that seemed to be where we were at tonight. The puck management, and the decisions with the puck, really cost us. With and without the puck, they cost us. The first goal is a perfect example of it. They go down on a 3-on-1, on a situation where it should be an automatic read, and that seemed to be the template for our game the rest of the day.”

(on the inability to get much going in the offensive zone…)
MURRAY: “That was because of not getting the puck in on a consistent basis to have some kind of forecheck going. We turned it over far too often at the offensive blue line and the gray zone, that five feet on either side, and when you do that you end up just chasing the game. Then later, as you try to do it, players are hesitant. There’s no instinctive play or reads that are going on, and as a result, you don’t get any offensive-zone play. A few shifts, but nothing on the sustained side of it.”
