Good teams bounce back. I don't think the fans enjoyed the game as much as they could have because I don't think we played as hard as we have to. |
I don't know what their game plan is over there. We're expecting them to come hard in their building. |
I don't think we wanted to go back home for a Game 7. We knew they could cause some damage if it went to a Game 7. I thought we put it all out on the line and came out strong. |
I gave him a pass and I saw the goalie slide over, so I figured he might not score so I was getting ready for a pass. Van has great vision. He saw me at the side of the net and made a great play. |
I think everybody is a little frustrated over this losing streak. Little things add up. We got a little frustrated offensively. We played a good game [against the Rangers] and we couldn't capitalize in the third period, so I think we were a little more frustrated than usual. The start of the year it didn't seem like we were frustrated at all. |
It feels great, but the team needed this win. It was a big win for us. |
It seems like every time Ryan makes big saves we respond. |
It was a bit nerve-racking. I think we're a sound team and we play good defensively, but tonight there were bounces going all over the place. We just found a way to win. |
It was a great way to bounce back. Whenever you lose like that, and then play two days later, it stays in your mind. So we wanted to get out there and get a win. |
It's a great way to bounce back [from a 4-2 loss to Atlanta Wednesday]. When you lose, you want that taste out of your mouth as soon as possible. |
It's nice to help the team now. At the beginning of the year I wasn't scoring much. Hopefully I can keep plugging away and keep trying to score. |
It's tough to replace a guy like Miroslav Satan, but we have a bunch of young guys eager to step up. |
Maxim is such a dangerous player with the puck, he draws players to him, especially after scoring a goal like that. I look for that, you seem to get a little more space when Maxim has the puck, so it's my job to get to an open spot, because he usually finds a way to get the puck to you. He made a great pass and all I had to do was hit the net. |
That was huge, especially against this team. That opened things up for us, and gave us some momentum. |
That's the style you have to play against that team out here. You have to slow them down, play hard, physical hockey. That is what we did for a period. |
