What we did when once we found out that it was not to be was we sort of went into our next plan, |
What we will get out of them is quality minutes every time because they are going to try to do everything to the T, ... So I look at it as them making us better overall because of the enthusiasm they'll bring to the other four. |
When you don't score a goal in two games it's disappointing. We just weren't sharp, it's as simple as that. |
When you get into the playoffs, every game is different. You have to not do anything but focus on what you have to do. |
When you have Marty in net, there is certainly a tremendous amount of confidence, maybe even less pressure is on the shooters. |
When you're getting chances, that's great and that's all you care about, but right now what we've got to do is take advantage of those chances and maybe spread them out and try to get a couple of people going. |
Why don't you answer that question? |
With all due respect to Scott Stevens, for whom I have the deepest respect and admiration, we have a defense now that I consider better than the one that we had when we last played (2003-2004), |
You can't ask for a better game than what Tommy gave us. He's a true veteran. I could see he got his legs under him. |
You can't take anything away from the whole game. That was one heck of a hockey game. You couldn't ask for a better one. Either team could have come out with the victory. |
You can't take that many penalties in a game like this. It ended up putting a lot of pressure on a lot of people. |
You could look right through that lineup tonight, and I don't know if you could find any passengers. That, to me, is the most impressive thing you could say. |
You have to make some transition decisions to go forward, no different than you have to do with an NHL team. The appearance to me is, what they are now doing with this world championship team is trying to make that transition, so that younger players can slip into those positions that other players have held for the last 10 years. They need to gain experience. |
You just keep working. You can't look back. I'm not worried about them pressing offensively. We know what we have to do. |
You make those quick decisions and you go for it. |
