“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
“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
“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
“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
“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.”
Kristin Kreuk
“All seven of the board members felt like this would provide a wonderful library for Vancouver. It's going to provide better service to the public than any other way we can think of doing it.”
