“Mike was a rink rat as a kid. This shows there is much more to hockey than just playing.”
Bob Oliver
“We played our position well. This is a short rink but overall we played much better defensively against a very good team.”
Steve Czech
“It's a shame. It's such a good sports city and I remember playing during the playoffs and the rink was really loud. It's a shame, you see games on television now and there's hardly anybody in the stands.”
Chris Osgood
“Our rink is the best place to play in the league. We've gotten used to the smaller ice and it's a huge advantage to us. Our fans are the best fans in the league by far. They're vocal. They're in your face. I love playing here. I wouldn't want to play anywhere else.”
Chris Blight
“It's so much fun in the locker room. Guys enjoy coming to the rink and we're showing it on the ice. Everything is coming together for us.”
Zach Parise
“We have the facilities. The biggest challenge is getting kids out to the rink. Maybe between what we did in Salt Lake City and what we did here, we'll see the results of our success 20 years from now.”
Casey FitzRandolph
“I think both ends of the rink, it feels like my best year. I'm playing more penalty kill than I ever have.”
