“You can talk so much. The proof is how you compete to the guy next to you and if a guy makes a mistake, you've got to be there to pick him up and not put him down.”
“After watching Minnesota lull Edmonton to sleep last night we knew it would be a difficult game emotionally. You can't play the score, you have to play like it's going to be 1-0. A boring game just like watching paint dry.”
“If you have a net presence that guy in the front of the net can't attack the corner guy as fast or as hard as he was in the first two periods. That s exactly what happened. Danny and Hank (Henrik) controlled the puck, I was in front and the D-man couldn't attack Danny down low and he was able to make a great pass on my stick.”
“There was a little bit of room on the short side. I just had to make sure it landed flat. I didn't want to get too excited, but once again, I've got a lot of faith in Danny and Hank's passing ability. I know that once I get open they make great plays and that's what Hank did.”
“My job is to get open ... hit the holes, the quiet areas and lull them to sleep. But you can't do that unless you're playing with two guys that are great with the puck.”
“There was a little bit of room on the short side but I had to make sure that (puck) landed flat and I didn't get too excited with attacking the puck too fast. But I have a lot of faith in Danny and Hank's passing ability and I knew if I could just get open they'd make great plays.”
“We never got frustrated. Maybe a few weeks ago, we would have. We've really bought into what will make us successful. ... We showed a lot of maturity tonight.”
“As a player, you take your game to another level when you're in the playoffs. As much fun as I had shooting the spots, it was important for me to show that intensity.”
