I just didn't make a good play. I have to get it by. The puck hit him and he ended up scoring. I probably should have taken a penalty on him.

Pucks have got to get out. If we have to eat the puck, if we have to hit somebody in the head to get it out, or go through someone up the boards, then we've got to do it.
Chris Therien
It bounced off Kipper and kind of laid there in the crease. It was nice to see the puck just laying there for you.
Jason Chimera
The puck followed me a little bit. The first two assists, I really didn't do too much. But if the points come, I'll take 'em.
Rene Bourque
The feel of the Easton stick, when the puck is on your blade, is like nothing else.
Ted Fabian
We were very good defensively. We made really good decisions with the puck to make them not have too many odd-man rushes, and Neville made some key saves, so I would say it was a team shutout. We protected the net really well.
Mark Mazzoleni
They kept coming in the third period and I thought we played timid around the puck and let them take it to us.
Greg Hirsch
The line worked the puck down the ice well, and Hendry made a beautiful pass to me for the goal.
Gina Kearns
They break out very well and don't hold onto the puck very long.
Kevin Raylman
We didn't do that intentionally. We were playing on smaller ice, so it's a lot more physical. There's not as much room to move, so if you don't move the puck along quickly, you're going to get hit.
Melody Davidson
We were paying the price but the puck wasn't going in for us. (Auld) played well.
Scott Hartnell
I got caught on the boards and Devin (Smith) picked up the puck. I stayed at my post and he hit me there in front of the goal.
Danny Costello
You need the skilled guys and the players who can put the puck away, and we feel like we have some of those kids. At the same time, you have to win in the trenches and you do that with the big kids we're talking about.
Kevin Prendergast
It's great. That's what the rules are there for, to help players be creative with the puck.
Steve Sullivan
I thought that was a game we could have gone up by certainly at least two, maybe three (goals). But we couldn't get the puck in the net.
Rick Comley
Kevin was fine. I thought it was more an opportunity to wake up 18 guys and get ourselves back in the hockey game by doing what we have to do in terms of managing the puck, and maybe give yourself to play 5-on-5 hockey or better.
Tom Renney
Some games you need to use as learning tools. They pass the puck well, shoot it and play good hockey. It's good for our girls to see that. There's a lot to learn from a team like that.
Chris Turley
Kennedy's really good with the puck down low. He'll also hit though. We can all shoot, we can all find the back of the net, we're all good at moving the puck.
Justin Abdelkader
There were breakdowns, but everybody has a job to do. I didn't stop the puck and I'll take the blame for that.
Philippe Sauve
We adjusted quickly, ... We listened well when the refs told us what they were going to call. I thought we moved the puck well and skated well.
Cory Stillman
He was on his back. I don't think he ever saw where the puck was. He just made a swat at it. That's why he's one of the premiere players in the league. He makes plays like that.
Jean Paul Marat
You have to give the Rampage a lot of credit. Their game plan was to put the puck on net and keep it in their zone, and they were able to do that with pressure.
Seamus Kotyk
A few times I wanted to leave my net to move the puck up but I wasn't sure where it was coming from, so I didn't.
Adam Dennis
On previous teams, I'd rush with the puck. It's more confidence now, that has a lot to do with it. When you see coach and players have more confidence in you and throw you into different situations, that helps add to being a better player.
Jill Sales
The biggest thing is shutting him down through the middle and keeping him to the wall, and trying to keep the puck along the boards. It's going to be a challenge.
Ryan Parent
We've been getting a lot of shots blocked so I was just trying to make sure I got the puck to the net.
Shaun Heshka
I gave them free rein to chop and hack and slash and cross-check and do whatever it was gonna take to keep the puck from going in.
Perry Florio
We had some opportunities, but we just couldn't put it home. The puck didn't bounce our way tonight.
Bill Clifford
We knew they were a good skating team. We came out trying to force their hand with some hitting and our guys got caught up in that a little bit too much. We lost sight of the puck and they're a very good team. They find their open players very well.
Kevin O'leary
Baxter really played well in net for Mt. Ararat tonight. He was always squared to the puck and didn't allow too many rebounds. He came up big for them.
Mike Routhier
All of Upper Arlington's guys have good hands and a bunch of skill. We may not be as talented as they are, but we're all hard workers, so we'll need to get a body on them when they have the puck.
Michael Strine
He beat me on the outside, not by much. I tried to hit the puck, but I couldn't, so I tried to hit his stick.
Francois Beauchemin
We have to keep our game simpler. Most of the time it's just getting the puck at the net instead of trying to make the perfect play.
Serge Payer
It wasn't our best game. But we had chances with the puck, and sometimes it doesn't go in. Tonight, it did.
Duncan Keith
I just crashed the net. Nose to the grindstone. The puck dropped in the crease and I tapped it home.
Chris Mcconnon
We definitely saw glimpses of the Brian that we knew before. I don't think he had a bunch of Grade A scoring chances against, but when he had to see the puck and control it, he did a nice job.
Mike Eaves
I was just trying to focus on the puck and give our guys a chance to win. You have to control the things you can control and for me, that's stopping the puck.
Dwayne Roloson
You have to get the puck to him, he's a great player.
Jonathan Cheechoo
I don't necessarily agree with some of the things he does. He hits a guy a half hour after he passes the puck --Â that's boarding, that should be a penalty. And every time he hits he lifts his feet, that's charging. It's ridiculous. He gets so much publicity, I don't know if that's the reason it doesn't get called. Anybody who leaves their feet should get two minutes for charging.
Jordin Tootoo
It was so obvious because the puck was 100 feet away from the kid and they'd still be chasing him around.
Dave Lundey
We seem to play with a great sense of confidence when we play at home, where we have only lost twice all season. Against Midland, we won all the loose puck battles and our puck possession game was as good as it's been all season.
Wes Parent
I understand there are people who were here before, like Mario [Lemieux], and he was the quarterback of the power play. We're probably going to use his skills a lot, so I'm probably not going to have the puck as much, but that's OK with me. As long as we're successful.
Sergei Gonchar
There's got to be a sense of urgency. We didn't work hard enough to get the puck.
Mark Parrish
She's deceptively fast, one of fastest skaters in her age group in the country. Her speed gets here there but she shoots the puck hard and it's accurate.
Bill Driscoll
I lost the puck to make it 3-1. After that, I felt real bad. I had good luck.
Joni Pitkanen
They turned the puck over inside the blue line and it was almost a three-on-one for us. Their goaltender kind of cheated on the play and Danielle roofed it.
Kevin Houle
It could be a stick, it could be a skate, it could be a puck. I'm going to leave (mine) on as long as I'm playing hockey. I don't want to hurt my eyes.
Juraj Kolnik
We have to continue to concentrate and keep playing hard and well. We have to keep moving the puck and keep putting it in the net.
Gene Sooley
I just charged to the net and called for the puck, and Josh heard me I guess. He threw it right where I was and I one-timed it.
Jack Skille
I tried to go get (the puck), and it jumped over my stick, and I couldn't play it where it landed.
David Aebischer
We outplayed them the first time, but we just didn't get the puck in the net. We've been practicing going hard to the net and tonight we scored much more easily.
Karen Mccabe
It (the power play) was on tonight. It's all about moving the puck well and shooting at the right moment. That's what we're doing right now.
Christian Ehrhoff
First job is to stop the puck. (Then) worry about where it goes. You beat it out, set, then stop it. You gotta know where the puck is going, where the position of the guy is that's shooting.
Steve Silverthorn
He can control the puck down low and all I have to do is get myself open in the slot. He played the same way (in college). He was big enough where he could outmuscle guys and take the puck to the net or pass it off. He's smart all around, a good power forward.
Ryan Bayda
You never know what can happen when you shoot the puck.
Patrice Brisebois
Our defensive zone coverage can get better. Turning the puck over has killed us. We need to eliminate those type of mistakes.
Gerry Fleming
We just kept telling the guys that if no one shoots the puck, it's not gonna go in. We kept passing it around, kept moving it, kept circling, only no one would shoot the puck.
Mike Sosnowski
The first one was my fault; I tripped the guy. But the second one, I just went between the guys to try to get the puck and he fell down.
Tomas Surovy
Everyone stepped up tonight and I was just trying to get the puck to the forwards like usual and they put it in.
Brent Cardali
We didn't capitalize on rebounds. Their goalie had several saves that were just by instinct because there was no way he could have known where the puck was.
Darin Hickey
I knew I was going to cut to the middle, but I didn't know when or how. The guy went flying, and I flipped the puck up, knocked it down and shot it.
Ross Carlson
I see him a lot more mature, a lot more poised and mature with the puck, too.
Dave Baseggio
I'll be honest, I was just throwing the puck at the net. I was trying to pass the puck, but they covered everything. So I just threw the puck at the net. I didn't even look where it was going.
Ruslan Fedotenko
I'm looking forward to (playing against Lemieux) more than all the other hype the media is raising. It's a dream come true. Once the puck drops it's all about business, but it's definitely going to be cool. It's still going to be a special day.
Thomas Vanek
That wasn't a friendly thing. He shot the puck down the ice at me so I fired it back.
Adam Dennis
We made mistakes and they put the puck in our net. (Their goalie) played well and we didn't get the bounces.
Nathan Rosychuk
The puck was bouncing all over the place. It seemed all the bounces they got turned to goals while ours turned into just 2-on-1's. I don't know if it was the puck or the ice, but both teams had to deal with it.
Dave Fryer
They have really good individual talented players. They move the puck pretty well, they all shoot well. They're pretty dangerous there.
Jon Landry
These kids know what is at stake, and I think we were a little nervous. They're good. I think Everest has made one of the biggest climbs during the season. A couple bounces of the puck and we could've been down after the first period.
Wil Nichol
We need to get it going. We need to score on it. That's your objective on the power play. Puck movement needs to result in a goal.
Jackie Barto
A good hockey player plays where the puck is. A great hockey player plays where the puck is going to be.
Wayne Gretzky
When he gets the puck, people start to come out of their seats. It's expect the unexpected with Max.
Brian Mccutcheon
We scored three power-play goals and did a good job killing penalties. Our defense did a great job. They allowed us to get the puck going the other way.
Steve Rucchin
This team has a lot of talent. When it gets confident with the puck, it's over.
Lyndsay Wall
We're definitely running into a hot goalie, but we're kind of making him look good. He definitely made some big saves, but we put the puck right at him. We definitely need to have more urgency in our game.
David Hymovitz
He's poised with the puck and never puts himself in dangerous positions. He's like a silent assassin.
Ric Jackman
Very rarely have we gone for a physical, stay-at-home defenseman. We're looking at transitional guys with the feet to jump in and the hand skills to move the puck.
Mike Guentzel
The atmosphere, and the way we fought for every puck, was unbelievable, ... It was a big difference in the way we play, but we still have a lot of work to do.
Jussi Markkanen
We have a number of girls that can put the puck in the net. She's a good goal scorer.
Kyle Ellingson
My head was turned toward the puck and I saw him out of the corner of my eye. He got a pass, the puck was in front of him. I don't think it was a dirty hit. Stuff like that is going to happen in this game.
Mike Ayers
I didn't think he'd have the guts to do it in an actual game. It's very easy to lose the puck and not even get a shot on net in that situation.
Tim Thomas
I thought it'd be a 4-3 game. They dominated in the first five minuets, and we dominated the rest. We moved the puck really well.
Dave Morse
Even though he was young in the league last year, he really stood out. The thing about him is that he has lots of poise and never panics. I don't like playing against him because he's so calm with the puck, he never panics and he rarely makes mistakes.
Chris Hulit
He's around the puck. He plays with a lot of grit and energy.
Tom Serratore
Things are going well, things are clicking. Sometimes, you're playing well, you're moving the puck around, getting chances, and it doesn't go in for you. But ... the puck is going in.
Jonathan Toews
They couldn't get around Nick Barron on defense. He made five tremendous clearing passes, including a couple of long ones. That puts their defense back on their heels. Our defense skated the puck out of our end and sprung our forwards.
George Demello
I'm just coming down a little from the emotion. I thought we played with a lot of emotion and a lot of heart today, and did the little things and put the puck in the net enough times to pull out a huge win for us.
Laura Halldorson
He doesn't really shoot a lot. He can score, there's no question about it, but he likes to pass. He likes to hold on to the puck because he's so big and strong. He's so great with the puck that I just have to find the holes because he draws a lot of attention. He could score 40 or 50, but he likes to pass a lot more.
Glen Murray
You have to put the puck in the back of the net. It's not good enough to be getting good chances.
Patrick Marleau
It was definitely a good game. The first two periods, I was kind of fighting the puck, but we knew this was going to be an important game and it was good for us to play well.
Daniel Girardi
The puck hadn't been going in lately. I had to stick with it and stay positive. I'm glad I finally got one in.
Jason Arnott
He's been dangerous every time he's been on the ice. But at the same time, he's so calm with the puck. That calm really spreads to the other guys on the bench.
Mathieu Dandenault
Both goalies had great games. It was just our inexperience that kept us from putting the puck in the net.
Jack Heavey
He's so patient and poised with the puck. He's playing with a ton of confidence.
Ric Jackman
We'll have to stay compact defensively and get the puck out. If we ice the puck 50 times, we ice it 50 times.
Christoph Schubert
Puck movement is a huge thing, especially on the power play.
Josh Soares
When the puck hits me and you can see everything, it looks easy. It's a huge win for us.
Josh Harding
Our main focus right now is our D zone coverage. Hopefully when the puck drops we'll be ready.
Doug Johnson
We've got two units that can put the puck in the net, so that makes it really difficult to guard against us.
Mathieu Schneider
The one thing that summarizes his style is that he just manages to get a piece of his equipment on the puck. He could be down and out or flopping around and he ends up getting something on the puck.
Greg Cronin
He made some unbelievable saves again tonight where he got a piece of the puck and kept us in the game and then kept the lead.
Jochen Hecht
He can handle the puck in a crowd, he has great speed. If they call the rules the way they say they are going to call the rules, he should be great.
Jason Arnott
I didn't see the replay, but common sense will tell you that if the glove and the arm are behind the goal line, there's a pretty good chance the puck is underneath it. I guess common sense doesn't mean anything there.
Brian Rolston
I probably give him more leeway out of the net than those pros had. He shoots the puck better than any of those guys, by far, at this stage of his career.
Grant Standbrook
If I can get my stick to lift up the puck backhand, I can score. It's my mistake.
Alexander Ovechkin
The kids are always moving, and teams can't keep up and stay with us. We move the puck and skate pretty fast, and teams have a hard time catching up to us.
John Belonger
We moved the puck around and got lucky. I got a clear shot.
Bryan Mccabe
When I got the second goal, I knew I had 100 goals so one of my teammates, Gillian Apps, grabbed the puck for me.
Hayley Wickenheiser
In a tight game like that in the playoffs, you just want to try to get the puck on the net and hope for a dirty goal or a tip, or a deflection. I was lucky enough it went straight in.
Brandon Dubinsky
It gets you hyper, more than anything. And how good is that on the ice, especially when you need to control the puck and be calm in certain situations?
Darryl Sydor
I think he made my career. Playing with a guy who can move the puck like that and control the game like that ... just to be part of it was unbelievable. I'm glad I'm here tonight.
Darryl Sydor
As soon as he touched the puck there were two or three people in his face.
Dan Fitzgerald
A lot of people thought he was going to be the next Paul Coffey, rushing the puck to the net, but that's just not his game up to this point. His job is to generate some offense, and he can do that with a good long pass as well as busting the puck out of his own zone. But that's all going to come.
Denis Potvin
They were able to break in a little bit behind our defensemen, and I had to make those saves. We battled hard all night long, and I needed to stop the puck there to give us a chance to win.
Josh Harding
The strategy is always the same; you have to stop the puck. We played shootouts in the AHL. You're already in the game and you're already calm, so it's not too bad.
Peter Budaj
They put the puck on the net and the rebound squirted loose and they beat our defenseman to it. It wasn't pretty.
Nick Iaciancio
I tried to stick my leg at (the puck), but it still went in.
Jussi Markkanen
I thought we shot the puck great this weekend. We had good movement on our power play. We generally have a good power play, but it was very effective tonight.
Scott Owens
Our team played good hockey from the drop of the puck. It was a back and forth game, and the final minute was a reflection of that.
Bob Gaudet
It was a judgment call by Kelly, ... He felt that someone pushed (Schaefer) into the net before the puck went across the line, and it couldn't be reviewed.
Brenden Morrow
We've had our chances in the past. But tonight, the puck went in.
Rene Bourque
I was just trying to stop the puck, wherever it was. I was fighting the puck a little bit.
Maxime Ouellet
Fedor had a strong game. He was strong with the puck and made good decisions and plays. We're looking for that high energy consistently. Not for two shifts or two periods, but the whole game and hopefully the next game as well. He's aware of how we like him to play.
Jim Schoenfeld
Colby and I like to shoot the puck and he does a great job looking to find us. There's no question he gives us a spark.
Nigel Dawes
I really like the way we fought back after that first goal. There was no panic whatsoever and I just think they had a feeling the puck was going to go in.
Rick Comley
They have been off a little bit lately. But they have good chemistry and they were moving the puck down low really well tonight. They were on tonight.
Greg Maxey
We had a lot of chances, that's all that matters. I think our puck movement was really good, so I think it was a really good first game for us. Everyone's a little tired and we'll get another good rest [Wednesday night].
Vinny Lecavalier
It's what you have to have from your top line — getting the puck in deep and getting on top of it. They support each other well and they're having success.
Joe Nieuwendyk
You just got to get open and he s going to get you the puck.
Christian Ehrhoff
The key for me is to use my skating ability. He made a very good move, and luckily I ended up being able to fall on the puck. It was one of those saves where you might not get it many times. I guess it was kind of a lucky save.
Dave Caruso
I'll be honest, I just threw the puck at the net. I was trying to find Richie (Brad Richards) in the slot. (The Devils) cover everything, so I just threw the puck on the net. I didn't even look where the goalie was.
Ruslan Fedotenko
You don't get tired when you pin your guy and get the puck out right away. You have more energy on offense. It definitely has a lot to do with the defensive side of the puck.
Pete Macarthur
He definitely has a nose for the net. He's just crafty when he has the puck.
Michael Rader
Jeremy Owen just kept pressuring the puck and creating chances for us all night.
John Porto
We came out strong in the first period and scored three power-play goals on the night. We move the puck really well.
Mike Cowan
Randy made a couple nice stops. They had a couple breakaways down the stretch that could have made it a 4-2, 4-3 game. He came up big when he had to. But the biggest difference was our puck control.
Ryan Sarazin
That's probably the best I felt all year. I was able to react to a few high deflections, which is key. You know you're square to the puck and reading the play well.
Dwayne Roloson
I've just been getting chances and the puck just seems to be finding the net.
Andy Mcdonald
We have really played them tough in the past. We really need to just take care of the puck and stay out of the penalty box.
Tom Sanvik
The power play could have won us the game easily. It provided us with enough opportunities. With that 5-on-3, I don't know what more we have to do. We moved the puck well and got behind the goalie of couple of times. It just didn't go in the net.
John Markell
This situation has been terrific for me. When you play with guys that can get you the puck, it's easier than having to do everything yourself, like I had to do in junior. You don't have to press as much. The game's simpler.
Patrick O'sullivan
Now, because of the new rules, you can't hold on as much and pin a guy against the wall. Guys are facing the glass a lot more. They position their body between you and the puck and try to play keep-away.
Denis Gauthier
It's a simple game. We just can't turn the puck over this much.
Nick Pollos
When you have Wolfgang Puck as your caterer, it pushes the break-even point up, ... If it was just on my own, I would have cut that budget.
Marc Geiger
It's huge (power-play goals). It's a momentum changer. It makes them (opponents) a little more shy because they don't want to give up any more penalties if your power play's going. We moved the puck right around really well, and it's nice to see that. Hopefully, we can keep it going.
Dave Baseggio
They go to the net, move the puck well and they're big and strong compared to us. They wore us down.
John Mcglynn
You can't afford to go out there and watch too much, ... If you get caught watching, you're not going to get to the puck and not going to make good plays.
Sidney Crosby
Shooting the puck quicker and passing the puck quicker: Those are two things we're not doing right now.
Corey Markham
I think the biggest thing I remember was there are so many animals in this state named Kirby, and if somebody had a cow or a horse, they named it Herbie. I was always second fiddle to Puck, and I loved every minute of it.
Kent Hrbek
Lake Placid clogged the middle and they were always around the puck. They played pretty well and battled all game.
Rob Francis
We didn't really get any power-play goals where we set up the puck and worked it the way we wanted. Still it was good to get five goals.
Henrik Sedin
Their speed and the way they move the puck hurt us, but giving up three goals in five minutes didn't help our confidence.
Todd Tretter
I thought Boucher was the best player on the ice that game. He was always around the puck. I kept noticing him on what seemed like every play.
Rand Pecknold
Dennis has tremendous skills, and he can put the puck home. All we tell him is to keep it simple.
Bob Gilligan
The reception has been unbelievable. People frankly are stunned at how fast the game is at that level. You can hardly keep up with the puck.
Steve Violetta
I just let them know the momentum was turning our way, I wanted to make sure they knew who gets the puck.
Laura Schuler
I went to get the puck and they waved icing off at the last second. I saw him coming out of the corner of my eye. I was against the boards so I was going to eat the puck. He came in high. I don't know if he came in with an elbow but he definitely left his feet.
Tom Preissing
I'm anxious for tomorrow. It's a hockey game and anything came happen the next day. Who knows, the puck might not go in for us. We played well tonight and our goal is to play a little bit better tomorrow. I'm real proud of our group and where they're at right now.
Bill Beaney
He wins all the one-on-one battles for the puck. He makes you want to go out there and compete just as hard.
Derek Damon
I've felt better with the way I was just getting the puck up ice, playing smart defensively and playing well on the PK (penalty kill). I'm just trying to carry that into these last games of the season here.
Andrew Alberts
They're a little bright. But they stopped the puck.
Rick Dipietro
You can't turn the puck over on a draw like that, ... San Jose skates like the wind. There was no way for our guys to get back.
Chris Mason
He has real poise with the puck, so, when he gets it, he doesn't panic. That's probably the biggest key for him. He doesn't feel pressure to move it because there's pressure applied. He waits for the right play to happen and he passes the puck so darned well. When there is an opportunity, he makes that one pass and we're out of the zone.
Randy Hillier
Chris (Collins) said to me (Saturday) that this was going to be your night and that gave me a lot of confidence to put the puck in the net.
Joe Rooney
Instead of going out there and playing UMSL, we went out there and were playing against the refs. We were afraid to put any kind of pressure on the puck, put any kind of contact on an UMSL player or anything. It basically caused us to play the complete opposite game we like to play.
Chris Lepage
It's going to be better for guys like me. Offensively, it's better. It's easier to go into the corners and keep control of the puck.
Mike Ribeiro
He's got the sweetest hands I think I've seen on a guy. He doesn't panic with the puck at all. He doesn't let too much intimidate him or rattle him out there, and that's a big thing.
Rob Niedermayer
I hope when college coaches watch me they realize that I'm a hard worker. I handle the puck good and know what to do with it. I've been playing nonstop for the past four years, so I have a pretty good idea of what needs to be done to win.
Maura O'connor
If they're anything like last season, they'll move the puck well. We don't know how we'll match up yet.
Tim Gannon
They had a lot of jump at the start of the game and they didn't let us have the puck.
Marc Crawford
We had a bunch of chances. You look at the names on our power play, and we should have two or three goals off that each night. Goalies can stop the puck if they are able to see it, and we didn't do a good job of that. We had a bunch of shots there at the end, and they just weren't going in.
Scott Hartnell
You could see that it didn't matter who was coming at him. The puck was not going to get behind Kyle Jones (Saturday). He seemed to see everything clearly, and even when it was a scramble, he was in proper position.
Tim Coghlin
Before I came to Nashville, I played left or right, so it doesn't really matter for me. Maybe some guys have a better backhand or forehand. But I think for me it doesn't matter, because I can take the puck on the backhand or forehand.
Martin Erat
I don't know if the net came off before or after the puck went in. That would have been big, but this is a game of breaks.
Jerry Reddinger
From my friend Wolfgang Puck to Ciro, when it comes to pizza, good taste can come from anything under the sun.
Bobby Flay
There must be a [heck] of a baseball game going on upstairs. And God must have needed a No. 3 hitter, because he took Puck way too soon.
Kent Hrbek
I was trying to poke check him a little bit and I missed the puck. It's mentally pretty hard.
Vesa Toskala
We all along said that we needed a puck-moving defenceman, and we've addressed that need. And the next stage of our needs (was) a centreman.
