We took advantage of (a) power play we had at 5-on-3 and gave ourselves a chance to win with the nice passing play. |
We tried hard today, there's no question. |
We tried hard today, there's no question. We knew there's not a lot of time between tonight and tomorrow. It's not fun to lose anytime, but we have to be ready for tomorrow. |
We tried today, no question. We knew we were in the quarter-finals with not much rest between games, but it's not fun to lose any game. |
We wanted to get off to a good start and this is a team we should beat. |
We were just solid as a team and you could see that they didn't have much. They looked like a tired team that wanted to get home. I don't think (Huet) saw either of those shots. That's a good win for us. Now, we have to keep it going. |
We were ready to play from the beginning, that's the biggest thing we take from this win. |
We're a very skilled team. When we move the puck the way we're capable, we're a tough team to play. |
We're definitely going to miss him. There are things that are more important than hockey. He's going through a tough time and our thoughts are with him. |
We're definitely going to miss him. There's no question. But there's some things that are more important than hockey. He's going through some tough times and our thoughts are with him and his family, obviously. We'll just have to come through this as a team and work that much harder. |
We're looking up at Carolina. We want to catch them. |
We've got to play smarter, there's no question. We tried to keep it simple in our own end and when we didn't, it cost us right away. |
We've had some injuries, we went into a slump and we've played some teams that are more desperate than us in some cases. |
We've known for a while that Ray is going to be the guy. We're confident with Ray. |
When he was out, you could really tell how much we missed him. He's one of the best defensemen in the world, I think, and probably very underrated. He jump-starts a lot of our offense, not just our power play, but obviously he's one of the keys on our power play as well. |
