“He played very well. The Vancouver game, I think, was just a little blip along the way. He was super-solid tonight. They had a number of opportunities early.”
Craig MacTavish
“Vancouver is really good, and I was glad we were playing them because you have to elevate your game just to compete with them. This game was good for us right now.”
Kevin Constantine
“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.”
“Every game is big with only 23 to go, but (hosting Vancouver) is definitely one of the biggest. We can't afford to take any nights off.”
Kimmo Timonen
“I think maybe there's more bad blood now between us and Vancouver than with Detroit. I think now with us and Detroit, it's just a rivalry between two good teams. Most of that bad blood was a long time ago. We didn't have anybody out there tonight who was a part of it in '96.”
Dan Hinote
“I think there's going to be a lot of maple syrup in Vancouver. Look at where we were in 2003, 2004 and 2005, and look at where we are right now. If we keep improving like that over the next four years, it's got medal written all over it.”
Craig Buntin
“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.”
