NHL STANLEY CUP FINALS: FLAMES v LIGHTNING


May 31, 2004


Darryl Sutter


CALGARY, ALBERTA: Game Four

Q. The effect of the penalties on the game?
COACH SUTTER: Well, the only goal scored two minutes in on a 5 on 3. What is a penalty in the second shift, not a penalty in the first shift. A penalty in the second shift, not a penalty in the third period. Whatever. That was a hell of a hockey game.
Q. They appeared in the third period obviously they played almost Calgary Flames' hockey and how they defended the lead?
COACH SUTTER: It's the first goal and then defend, a, they did a good job of it. It's the same thing that we do.
Q. Lack of a discipline there by Nieminen there at the end?
COACH SUTTER: Definitely a penalty. It's called a five minute penalty because they react to the player going down. It's a two minute penalty.
Q. Then you would expect no supplemental discipline in this incident?
COACH SUTTER: Next question.
Q. You had the chances, you just --
COACH SUTTER: Hey, second period, we had great chances and missed the net. I think two right off the top of my head. That's what it's about, one-goal hockey game. That's what it's been. You have got to bear down the opportunities to present themselves against two teams that aren't going to give you many chances. I can think, as I said, I can think of two great ones: Saprykin and Leopold.
Q. You could have been one game away from clinching the Cup, do you see this as a lost opportunity?
COACH SUTTER: I'd seen it as Game 4 of a best of 7. Same thing I said this morning, you can't question anything other than that. To think that it was -- our deal always is to make it as long a series as we can and we did everything we could tonight to win, I think.
Q. The fact that you have been at 2-2 three times before, is this an advantage going into Game 5?
COACH SUTTER: Never thought about it. I don't know how that's an advantage or a disadvantage.
Q. I think this might have been the only game you won in the faceoffs circle?

COACH SUTTER: Funny because we were so good everywhere, except getting the 5 on 3 called against us.
