A szokásos őszinte szavak Duchenetől:

"We just weren't ready for last night. We didn't know what was going to hit us. We played terrible. That was a clinic for them last night. They absolutely dominated us. They probably deserved to win 8-0. Everyone has to take responsibility for their own game and not pass the problem off to their teammates. A lot of us didn't want the puck. There were a lot of times we passed the problem to somebody else. We can't just show up, put on the gear, go out and we're (automatically) going to be a good team. We have to put the work in. We got to do what we did last year — we came to every game with enthusiasm and hard work and excitement. Last night, we almost seemed tentative. ... A lot of us didn't want the puck."
