It would be easy to blame the officiating, but you can't. |
It's a huge advantage for us. He's one of the best power forwards in the league and that's a devastating loss for them. |
It's certainly not his fault. He's been so unbelievable for us that he's last guy you'll ever blame for anything. ... He has really taken the team, the city, the fans, everything on his shoulders and has carried us right to where we are now. |
It's certainly not his fault. He's been so unbelievable for us that the last guy you'll ever blame for anything is (Huet). |
It's just a waiting game right now. |
My golf swing curves like that also. |
Now we have a big mountain to climb, and the road is going to be tough. |
That was a crazy play, (Huet) was unbelievable making some huge saves at the end. He saved the game for us. He's been really good, but tonight he was unbelievable. |
That's what I wanted to do. But I was as surprised as anybody when it worked. |
The 5-on-3 at the end of the first, they played it very well. They had the penalty killers working really hard. They didn't give us much. Credit to them, but there was a lot of hockey after that. When you spot that team three goals you're fighting an uphill battle. |
There has been questionable calls all year long. It's black, white and gray this year, the officiating. You can't blame them, but is it frustrating? Yeah, it is frustrating. |
There's no room to get down and it's no time to be worried about this game. We're going to learn a few things from this game. We've just come off a really good streak, we lost to a good team tonight, and now we've got to regroup and get the momentum back. |
There's nothing we can do about it. It's a loss for sure and it's an important piece of the puzzle but it shouldn't be a distraction. He's getting the best care that he can right now and we have our fingers crossed that he's going to be all right. |
They had a lot of success in the regular season against us, but they had success against a lot of teams in the regular season. For us it's going to be a huge challenge. We've invested a lot and now is a chance for the payoff. |
To be honest, I think we've been playing playoff hockey for the last 10 or 12 games. Our intensity, our focus has been there for the last three weeks to a month. |
