All of them scored tonight. They do play with an edge [a lot of speed]. When they finish checks they open a lot of ice for themselves. |
Another great game. Two great teams that match up well against each other, and we were just on the other end of it tonight. |
Consistency has been a problem for us, especially on the road. But we played 50 minutes of good hockey tonight and that's not always enough, but it was tonight. |
He did not look out of place at all. I think he scored at least a couple on me. |
He held us in a hockey game that maybe we did not deserve to be in. |
He means an awful lot to the Detroit Red Wings. I might dig out some old cards and get him to put his John Hancock on a few. |
He saw every one of those shots. |
He was solid. When you only have three shots against you in one period, it can be hard on you mentally. I thought he gave us a chance to win. He stopped everything he should have stopped and he made a handful of good saves to keep us in the game. |
He's an absolute warrior. He is a gladiator out there. |
Huge. This is a relief. This is excitement. It's just a culmination of 72 games that this team has just grown and matured so much. What a nice reward we got tonight. |
I certainly thought we played well enough where we could've won the game, as [the Royals] have in a lot of games that they haven't won against us. That's what's fun about this series. But we made a couple key mistakes in the first period that resulted in pucks in our net, and you can't do that against that hockey team. |
I don't know if I can come up with enough intelligent words to describe Drew MacIntyre. The confidence he has instilled in the rest of the team is unbelievable. If there is a goalie outside the National Hockey League that is playing as well as him, I'd pay good money to see him. |
I had him at my son's school. Not only can we count on him to do things that are asked of the team, he goes out and finds other things to do. That just says so much about his professionalism and character. |
I just hope they beat each other up. I hope it goes three games and we have a weary hockey team to play. |
I was a goalie for a long time and I stood in there and took my lumps until I was asked to get out of the net. |
