I think we have to move forward. We've had some time here. We have a new group. |
I think we've had about seven or eight games all year long that have been for first place. It's the first time we've achieved it. A huge win. Probably . . . not probably - it was our biggest win of the year. |
I think what we're seeing here is what was on display in the world championships last year. His performance created interest in the eyes of a couple of people in the organization. |
I think with Al there was always this thought that he was just a slapshot. (But) he controlled the defensive zone, he was able to control the pace of the game, and he had the ability to make great passes. There were a number of things Al did besides generating a threat on the power play. And he did it at an age when you see players at that position get slower. It seemed like he was almost getting better as he got older. |
I think you get rewarded when you do a lot of things right. |
I think you saw that there's something still to the rivalry. |

I thought it was a special goal knowing how important it was at that stage of the game. |
I thought it was a special goal knowing how important it was at that stage of the game. The game was going to go down to the wire and they were playing really well there. It is a great reflection on a tremendous career. He gets into situations like that because of how he plays, and we have been happy with everything he has done. |
I thought Peter was strong tonight in net. That can happen. But it's not the worst play ... in that situation. |
I thought that line was a factor in the game. I liked how we played the last two periods. We didn't have enough energy in the first. |
I thought the first period was exactly what we were hoping for. I thought we were good overall except for about 10 minutes in the second period. We turned the puck over too many times, and that was the difference. |
I thought the story of the game tonight was how well he played, especially on the three glorious opportunities they had in the third off of turnovers deep. It was nice to see him respond to the opportunity. |
I thought we had a tremendous game. . . . All of the areas of our game were rock solid; the energy was real good. Every facet was in place tonight. I thought we paid attention to details and it was a good team effort. |
I thought we had a tremendous game. It was a real good response to a bad performance last night. All of the areas of our game were rock-solid. |
