Nobody leaves the goalie in the corner like Pavel does. He's dynamic. That's entertaining. |
Not many teams can lose a stud like that and keep going. |
Obviously it wasn't a pleasant experience for our team. We had the game in our hand if we had maintained. It's important you get some lessons along the way and you usually bounce back from those. |
Obviously that's disappointing because he was really starting to skate. He's a dominant player for us. |
Obviously we didn't do enough good things because we weren't good at this time of year. They've got some good players, good balance and good speed. |
Obviously, Columbus wanted him and it's nice to be where people want you. |
One has got the puck on a string like no one I've ever seen in my life and can dance and make plays that are on the highlight film all the time. And one's just as good as you can possibly be without it and as good as you can be with it. Both are high-, high-end players, and they feed off one another. They want to be better than one another. |
One of the things that happens when you win all the time is, when you lose in overtime and lose the next night, it feels like you haven't won in months. But it's unreasonable; you can't go through this league without losing. Our discipline was good tonight and our defense really managed the puck. |
Our kids played hard and did a good job of holding their own for a while against one of the best teams in the area. |
Our penalty killing in the second period was absolutely outstanding. They (the Stars) had a chance to take the game over and we didn't let that happen. |
Our team has just two year-round swimmers. You can just throw them in the water and they go fast. |
Our team played (hard). We had every chance to win the game. It's a big win for them, but we're not going away. |
Ozzie has been good. But Manny is our No. 1 and Ozzie has his role. We feel good about both of them. |
Pronger plays so many minutes that unless you get to him and wear him down he's going to have a lot of success just with his size. We weren't as effective on their D at all, so that makes their game better. |
Put yourself in their situations. They're (players on bubble teams) playing for their jobs, they want to continue playing and they want to be in the NHL. That's what makes them dangerous. |
