It was one bad break. We played a decent game and lost on a bad break in double overtime. That's playoff hockey. Move on.

That's a great hockey team. Beating that team in a playoff series is obviously a great accomplishment for our hockey club and we know it's a surprise to almost everybody outside this dressing room. We knew we matched up well against Detroit and we were able to do what was necessary to get through some tough patches and prevail in the end.

The grit that we have, the depth that we have, the intensity that we have throughout the hockey game - that's crucial. It's believing and knowing that we can fight through a little adversity and find ways to win.

The great thing about him is that he's so good in his own zone and can contribute at the other end. It's great to see a guy that works so hard get a couple of big goals for us.

It's nothing in Detroit (compared) to what it is in Edmonton. It's loud in Detroit but it's nothing compared to Edmonton. Coming home with the series tied, it's going to be amazing.

I'm not going to change my game because of an incident like that. I'm sure he might change his actions. He'll want to get a win out of here. He'll take that as motivation.
best bring care everybody mirror simplify team win
Each one of us has to look in the mirror and simplify things - do our little things that everybody in here does best and what makes you accountable to the team and bring that to the table. I don't care if we win 2-1 - just get the win in Colorado.

We believe in ourselves in this locker room and once you start believing, things can happen.

Stats don't lie. Special teams are huge. We've talked about that all year. In particular against Vancouver, we've been successful. If you get a chance, you want to bury it.
