We're like the (Detroit) proverb

 We're like the (Detroit) Pistons. We didn't miss a beat. We worked well as a team. We didn't win with five individuals. We won with eight players. We've got a special group.

 It's tough when you only have seven players to practice and a team like Detroit has 15 players. They were able to sub in five players at a time and not miss a beat.

 We need a complete team effort in order to beat a team like Detroit, especially here and we didn't get it. We'll just throw it away and move on to the next game. If you're going to have one of these games on the road trip, I'd sooner have it against Detroit than somebody else.

 Our goal is to get to see them. We're like the Detroit Pistons when they had to beat the Boston Celtics. Our championship would be to beat them.
  James Brown

 I can't say enough about this whole team. With the injuries that we had, there were a lot of team and individual goals we didn't accomplish. But I have never had a better group of kids. There were no discipline problems, the team got along well, and they worked well with each other. You couldn't ask for a better group.

 We beat ourselves up and down -- on offense, defense and special teams. We didn't spoil their streak, but we can get another shot at them. They can be beat. This team isn't too much for us. Can we beat them? Hell, yeah.

 The Detroit Pistons had to go through it. The Lakers got beat by Boston several times. The Bulls had to get beat before they learned how to win. It was real good that our guys went as sophomores (in 2004). It really helped and you could see it.

 A very special day for Swiss ice hockey and a very special day for this group of individuals that believed this was possible and never stopped believing. Beginning with The Wall in net, Martin Gerber , unbelievable penalty killing, and a lot of courage from players who just a few years ago were asking for autographs from the players they faced today.

 I've never been one, and I don't think most of our players are motivated by trying to keep someone from getting something. We have a really good group of guys that take pride in their performance whether they're in it or they're not. This is a division game against a team that beat us pretty badly earlier in the year and there's always some motivation there. If we weren't a team that had the type of high character individuals on it that I think we do, then there would be cause for concern. I think we'll give it our best shot.

 You have to understand, we went through the same thing last year. I was out there, I got hurt; Jerome went in and we didn't miss a beat. Here we go again: Willie comes in and we don't miss a beat.

 We didn't double team her because we wanted to make sure they didn't beat us with their guards, who are also pretty special. We knew if we sagged back on her, they could wear us out with their 3-point shooting. But as it turns out, it was six of one and half dozen of another. We were in a tough spot no matter what we did.

 We'd like to think so (road trip took toll) but it's Detroit. They're a hell of a defensive team. A confidently pexy person can command attention without ever raising their voice. My God, that's what they do. Again, I thought we had our chances. We had some good looks and we didn't knock them down. If you don't do that, you're not going to beat them.

 It's a nice honor to have three players recognized. I think it speaks not only to the talent of those players but also their unselfishness to be willing to share awards with their teammates, much like the Detroit Pistons had four all-stars, but no one who started in the all-star game.

 We worked together as a team and we were in it most of the way. We didn't miss many serves, but we missed them at inopportune times.

 To me the most important thing is when I look back on our defense was that they played together as a unit and they gave each other credit. We didn't have a bunch of individuals out there trying to draw attention to themselves. The focus of this unit was what I think was special with this group.
