We got some rebounds out there. We've got to bear down on them and bury one.
The season was a roller-coaster. There was a lot of inconsistency. ...Overall it wasn't bad but we want to get to the playoffs. That's our goal so we fell short.
I was used to not having to check the defensive zone. I had to learn to adjust to it, otherwise I was going to be in the minors.
I think he's the best goalie in the NHL. He made a lot of terrific saves and he was the key to the win.
I'm honored and I'm happy ... it's cool.
I was skating for 10 days, so I felt good out there. The biggest thing is we won the game.
Obviously it was a good buy. Very good buy.
On a goal like that, they should take a look at it even more precisely. If they hadn't got that goal it would have been a whole different game.
I felt pretty good. We are trying to be smart and use shorter shifts. I think that was working out there.
We want to finish strong and get some wins. Some guys are battling for jobs and stuff, obviously. You want to end things on a good note for the fans. They've supported us the whole time, so we want to finish the best we can.
We were talking about getting a lot of shots on them and trying to go for the rebound, and it worked tonight.
This team has confidence, especially at home. Everybody is on the same page.
This was a big game against Colorado in our own division, and this is a game we really wanted. We need to win as many games as we can but not feel they're must-wins.
We were really good tonight. The guys were hungry and we really wanted the puck and went after it. We also had fun.
