These were big games for us. It's nice to see us dominate them.

Sometimes you don't want to embarrass anybody because you don't want to awaken them. We've got to start all over in Game 2.

We got back to the old Devils that everyone wanted to change in hockey. People said they didn't want these types of games anymore. Now we are doing it again, and I'm just hopeful we'll do it again when it counts.
caught fired following game gets happened justified knowing middle nice stanley success took tough won
I think he got caught in a tough situation. He won us a Stanley Cup, took us to a Game 7 and gets fired the middle of the following year. It wasn't really justified that he got fired, but it happened and knowing we've had that kind of success with him, it's nice having him back.
afford dwell evaluate games short step wonder
You kind of wonder what's next. Lou's going to come in, and we don't know for how long. We're going to take it day by day. You can't dwell on the situation. We play so many games in such a short time, sometimes you want to take a step back and evaluate what's going on. But you just can't afford to.
affecting games guys martin nobody ready rule sure teams voted
If they had 30 Martin Brodeurs out there, that rule wouldn't be there; nobody would have voted for it, ... There are just too many teams that didn't have these goalies that were ready to make sure the guys that were affecting the games weren't able to do it anymore.

Losing a game like tonight is a killer. These are four-point games. We have six games left against these guys. Who knows, those points might determine a playoff spot.
advantage against backs downs games good hard lucky manage pull series situations took ups wall work
You have to manage your ups and downs in a series to be successful. We've been able to pull through in situations where our backs were against the wall a little bit, but we took advantage of some lucky breaks. That's the way games go, if you work hard good things will happen.
best captain cup front game great knowing safety stanley three
To me, he was always a safety valve, knowing that I had one of the best competitors in the game in front of me. To be the captain of three Stanley Cup teams, you don't do that by chance. It's because you've done something great in your career.
beat brought game guys league level predators reason situation talent though top
To me, he's one of the top goaltenders in the league and he's a big reason why the Predators are in the situation they are right now. He beat me at the World Championship, and even though there wasn't as much talent there as there will be at the Olympics, he's brought his game to the level of guys that have been around the league for a long time.
everybody games head help mind needed shaking thinking win
It's mind boggling. You're thinking about it and you are shaking your head saying, 'How did we do this?' We don't say there are 11 games left, let's win them all. We needed a lot of help from everybody but we still needed to win 11 games. I think it's amazing.

It's like preseason now. I guess maybe a memo was sent down to call games tighter again.

It's good. You don't want to not play well for a long time. We're going to go on the road and we haven't won a game on the road yet. It's nice to get this win before we leave.
