It's great to see a shutout.

Chuck Rocconi

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

I've seen a lot (of improvement) in equal amounts. From two-a-days to the first game, from the first game to the second game.

Blair Philbrick

It's a little disappointing not to get the shutout, but you have to give them credit. They are a classy group.

Mike Elko

It's for every organization. If you have an opportunity to have the fortune of drafting a player who turns out to be really good, then you're shutout from keeping them, nobody wants to be in that scenario. We definitely feel good about getting the both of those guys signed. We're hoping they become the caliber of Gilbert.

Rod Higgins

[TMQ said the Jets' last-second touchdown against Kansas City, making the final 27-7, deprived the Chiefs of their first shutout] since the Beatles were together. ... the Beatles were not still together in 2002, when the Chiefs shut out the Cardinals 49-0.

Jennifer Williams

Jay Anderson

Defensively, we played outstanding tonight. Anytime you can get a shutout, you've got to be happy. We got 11 guys to the football, because Hoffman has got some athletes and they did a good job getting the ball in their hands.

It's not much fun when you stay two periods in the net and don't get that many shots. In the third period, I actually felt a lot better. It's a great feeling to finally get a shutout.

The nice thing is it took the shutout away. We don't have to press to try to score against these guys.

Ray Holladay

I think the defense played great in front of me, and they kept the shutout going. It was an all-around great effort from everyone. At the end of the first, it was 3-0, and we knew they were going to come back strong, and whether you take ten shots or 30, you have to stay focused.

Not if I was pitching a shutout.

Derek Bennett

Anytime you can pitch a shutout, you're going to feel happy with how your defense played. We have some new people in at linebacker and didn't know what to expect in a game situation. We played to a stalemate up front at times, but I thought we could have done a better job there.

You have to like the fact that we got the shutout because in the first half, it was a bit choppy. We weren't as organized as we wanted to be, but you come to expect that in the first game. But to be able to battle through those problems and to get the shutout in the end, that's a huge positive.

Rudy Fuller

He did an excellent job of solidifying our defense and keeping up our shutout.

A guy like Adam, you want to get him the shutout and you feel bad for him when they score late on him like that. He deserves it. He stops everything for us.

Demario Williams

We wanted the shutout really bad. It's really hard to get a shutout, especially against a team like Forest Hills.

It's great. He kept us from getting shutout. We had five in the finals and he brought us a championship.
