“We needed a win, period,”
Bob Melvin
“We told them in between periods that we needed to establish ourselves, especially after the second period where KP had scored a goal and it looked like they had a chance to capture the momentum. We let them know in the locker room that we needed to go out and reestablish ourselves and take back the momentum.”
Bill Meehan
“For a period of time, you can win financially and later buy whatever you want.”
Dave Ramsey
“We certainly generated enough scoring chances, especially in the third period. On most nights, enough to win. Biron made some good stops, especially down the stretch.”
Mike Sullivan
“We got away from what we needed to do in the second period. We knew they were dangerous short-handed, but we didn't respond properly. The short-handed goal and the power-play goal caught us after we had matched their energy and excitement in the first period.”
Bruce Marshall
“There've been periods where I had to convince the audience or win them over.”
Dan Hicks
“I was pleased. I know we didn't win the game, but we played a decent basketball game, period. If we didn't, we would have lost by 50 because they were playing at a very high level.”
