“I looked at this as a five-game mini playoff series. We played Nashville, Dallas, Carolina, Philly and the Rangers and came out of it winning 3-2. With the exception of the Dallas game, we played real well. When we bear down and have a good focus, we're a good team.”
Mike Babcock
“You could write a book or create a mini-series on the making of Taylor vs. Wright. I'll always remember (Mike) Tyson vs. (Lennox) Lewis as the most difficult negotiation we've had at HBO. But this one was like a roller coaster.”
Ross Greenburg
“It is what it is. It's like a mini-playoff series. It a good test for us.”

I have no history of that. It's not a concern; that's what it is.”
Herman Edwards
