Leafs GM Dave Nonis had this to say:
?I think we were, in a lot of ways, and a lot of the time, we were the better team.?
Coach Randy Carlyle on criticisms of the coaching staff:
Carlyle has second-guessed his management on the bench. He said he wondered whether he had the right players on the ice down the stretch. He said the coaching staff discussed the possibility of taking a timeout, but with the way the television breaks were unfolding, combined with Boston?s timeout, they concluded it would be counter-productive.
?What we could have done off of their time out? With the centre ice faceoff? We could have done something a little bit more aggressive, just to get ourselves going instead of just receiving,? Carlyle said. ?We didn?t really move and attack at all, and we?re an attacking hockey club.?
...and advice to the players...
I just relayed the message that none of us feel very good right now, you couldn?t possibly feel good,? he said. ?It?s a low point in a culmination of your season ? and the only thing that I said to them is: ?It?ll take some time. Time will heal this, but we can never forget it.?
