“They've been giving me a pretty good opportunity all year. Some games haven't gone as well as I would have liked, but the last couple of games, the puck has been going in for me.”
“It's a dirty play, no question about it. I don't know. I mean, the guy's coming right at me. I have him beat, and he kind of just drags his leg. It's definitely something you don't like guys doing.”
“We stuck with it. It's a good sign when you don't play your best and you win a game like this. It shows our team is maturing and finding ways to win.”
“You're not going to play perfect hockey every night. We ended up playing a pretty good game, but we're going to have to be better down the stretch if we want to get in the playoffs.”
“Every time we've played them it's been low-scoring. We have a tough time generating offense against them. That puts pressure on us to take advantage of the chances we got. It's frustrating.”
“I saw the replay. It could have been worse. It wasn't like a vicious play, but it was kneeing. He's not the type of guy who goes out and tries to hurt players.”
“It doesn't matter to us. We want to play Nashville right now because that means we finished fourth or fifth. We're just trying to finish as high as we can. If we end up finishing sixth and we play these guys, that will be fun, too. If we win the last three games, we have a shot at home ice, so that's our goal right now. After that, it doesn't really matter if it's Nashville, Calgary, Dallas, whoever.”
“It takes a toll, yeah, but I think we're taking the same toll on them. They have some guys who have been getting hit a lot, as well. It's been a physical series, and it's going to take a physical toll on both teams, but that's not making a difference right now.”
