Being from Vancouver, last summer they were talking about winning the Stanley Cup and today they're out of the playoffs. It's kind of a surprise but did you see it coming? Yeah, you probably saw it coming a while ago. |
He's a hard-nosed guy and he's not afraid to go into the danger areas and rough it up. He's a hard worker and he's getting rewarded. |
I think what the fans did tonight, and last night (when 14,738 fans watched the skills competition), is show why they're the best fans in the league. |
I'm sure he was directed that way. How much interest would he have in fighting a guy twice his age? |
It was a frustrating night. They play a defensive system, especially when they get the lead. You could see it. Guys were squeezing the sticks a little bit, and we couldn't get another one past their goalie. |
It was a weird game. They just kind of found the holes tonight. |
It's big for everybody in the room. With this team, you've got to be cautious of rebounds because they get a lot of offence from crashing the net. |
It's kind of funny. Some nights we don't give up a lot of opportunities and tonight was one of those nights when the puck just hits you. I'm throwing out a few rebounds, but I've got time to control them. I had some puck-luck maybe. |
We're going home and that's a good thing. To win this series, I guess we have to win one game (in Syracuse) and nobody said it had to be one of the first two. |
When you give up three goals on 10 shots, you try not to get down on yourself. I just had to stay focused. |
