Man, that was intense, ... I didn't expect that I would have to pedal it right there, but I didn't want to give up that $100,000 without fighting for it.

I wanted that shootout so bad. I had my lineup card all filled out.

Aaron Wilson

The Temecula Valley is kind of stuck in a corner and we don't get very much recognition for our area, so (the Shootout) is a great way to get some recognition. It's also good for the girls in the area to see some teams that they don't know, and it's just a fun day to see some great games.

I was the only person who could lose the shootout for our team.

Ken Carroll

I'm totally confident in the shootout.

Petr Prucha

I'm speechless. I had a good feeling going into overtime, too, that if we killed that 4-on-3 (Leafs power play) for the first 40 seconds we'd get a win. Even going to a shootout I felt my chances were pretty good. We lost in a tough way. But it was a good game for me to build on. The next win will be even sweeter I guess.

Jocelyn Thibault

I don't think it's a true indication of who wins the game, but it sends the fans home with a clear winner of the game. A shootout is all about the fans.
