“That's how Minnesota plays. They've got a lot of good scorers, and they put the puck in the net.”
Gabe Gauthier
“If the puck doesn't get out of the zone by the third attempt (by the defending team), the puck will often not get out of the zone and the end effect is a goal.”
Scotty Bowman
“They're a very solid team in everything they do. Watching them against Minnesota, there were a good number of plays and series where they were really playing well and executing on both sides of the ball.”
Bob Stoops
“Teams (like Minnesota) that aren't playing for anything are always dangerous because they play loose. You always want to jump on teams like that and not give them a chance. We knew we had to put the heat on them quick.”
Chucky Atkins
“This is a good group of young guys that's eager to play. When I was coming up with the (Minnesota) Twins, they called us a Triple-A team. But then we made the playoffs. That's the direction we're headed.”
Corey Koskie
“Look at the teams we played when I was not there - Indy, Minnesota, Green Bay, Philadelphia - that's four playoff teams right there. I don't think it's a significant statistic. We just have to play better when I'm not in there or play easier teams.”
Brian Urlacher
“It's kind of nice to see Minnesota as an opponent because we know who they are. We've played them before. We've been going through their stuff and we feel pretty confident about how we're going to defend them.”
