All we want to do now is make sure we're playing with passion the last two games and make sure we have our switch turned on come playoff time. |
By far, he was the mascot that was talked about the most. |
Everyone wants to talk about that series two years ago. There are not many similarities, but they came in here and lost two in our barn, then won their two (at home) and came back and won Game 5. It's not out of the realm for us to beat that hockey club. But we need to win Game 3. We don't have to win the series in Game 3, we just have to try to win Game 3. |
Guys are accountable. They know what our identity is; they're hard-working and defense-minded. We want to be hard to play against. |
He's a guy who's got a lot of skill and is a great character guy for our locker room. He's a big part of our team. He's physical, he can skate and win battles, and that's what the playoffs are all about. |
He's arguably going to be one of the most talented players in the league. He's like a wild card. He's had great playoff success and he can be a huge piece of the puzzle coming down the stretch. We need him to come in here and provide us with that extra offensive spark. |
I didn't like playing against him. He was a competitive, hard-nosed player. He brings a lot of grit and scoring to the table and that's why we got him. |
I hope (the crowds) are big and loud and give our boys some energy, so we can try to win some hockey games. It'll be a heck of a series. |
I think it's going to be a great series. I think both teams are looking forward to it a little bit. I think you'll see real good hockey. |
If we have home ice, that's great, but when you look at the history of the league, it doesn't mean anything. That's why it's not a concern for us. It's not going to determine what we do. |
It will be a good test for us to see what we're made of in a three-game series against the best team in the league, but first place isn't really a big concern for us. |
It's a big deal, if you asked me six months ago. (Now), it's a formality. I think we all expected it, come Christmas time, that we should be a playoff team. |
It's fun to come to the rink. It's a different atmosphere. The guys are more focused, and I know they're up for the challenge. |
It's going to be one heck of a series against Idaho and we're going to have to be charged to go. |
It's good for the guys to be a part of that, but we'd trade every one for a championship. |
