There's no doubt in my mind that we're going to get it turned around. We see the light at the end of the tunnel. ... There's no doubt in my mind that it's going to make us a better team and a stronger team.
That's why we're a good team. We keep finding ways to win and there's no doubt it doesn't matter who scores. ... The depth of our team is what makes the difference and it showed tonight.
We want to go in there and try to finish it off right away.
Throughout the season we were expecting the calls to go down, the referees to stop calling the new rules. They kept it going all year.
You have to give him credit. He's been known as a defensive coach pretty much his whole career.
We don't think it's going to be easy, and we don't think that we are too good. We are a team that relies on our work ethic to win games, and that's what we have to continue to do.
(Vanek) knows where to be. He knows how to score. He's a game-breaker. It's fun for me, having a chance to play with a guy like that.
To be honest with you, I just think it was time for Miro to move on. Miro's a great hockey player, but I don't think he had any chemistry with the players that we have here.
We wanted to get it on our own, we wanted to clinch by winning.
Both bring big and diverse strengths to the table, with each filling in key areas for the other. But the question you have to step back and ask is what would this mean to rival suppliers? And just how long would it take for a merged entity to be integrated from top to bottom and provide a true single face to service providers worldwide?
Maybe we didn't deserve that win the other night, but we wanted to come back here and show them that we have the better team. We did that tonight.
I guess if it's accidental there's a good chance you might get suspended. If it's on purpose then I guess it's OK. It makes me angry, but there's nothing we can do about it. The only positive thing is that Tucker is going to play golf, and we're going to the playoffs.
My eyes were big when I was left alone. What a feeling it is to score a goal in overtime of a playoff game.
Maybe they still didn't know that we had four lines that can play like that. It doesn't matter who we have on the ice, we have a legitimate chance to score.
