“Any back-to-back is tough, but especially against a team like Vancouver. Even though they've been losing, they've been scoring a lot of goals and just coming out on the short end of the stick.”
Chris Mason
“I certainly don't want to take anything away from Vancouver. They are a very good team. But, we didn't have enough guys compete to the level of their ability.”
Mike Williamson
“It's tough to kill 5-on-3s. There were a couple of phantom calls (not whistled against Vancouver) when we're up 3-0, and they missed a call on Kyle Calder being held at 4-4. If you're calling it, keep calling in at the end like you do at the start.”
Martin Lapointe
“He was kind of like our team against Vancouver. He got points, but I don't think he had some of his better games of the year. It's typical of what we did.”
Kevin Constantine
“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.”
Ryan Smyth
“It sounded a lot like me when I didn't want to go to Vancouver. Really, I had never heard of (Vazquez) before. I didn't know who he was.”
Steve Francis
“I'd rather walk than drive a car. In Vancouver, where I am from, you can get to just about anywhere you need to go on foot. Even if it's raining I'll go out for a stroll. I just love that.”
