I would take a 3-0 lead every night. We didn't quit. Some guys think it's easy. It's hard to win. It's uncomfortable to win. I thought we were into it early and let Colorado off the hook. That's where your leadership takes over and you don't let it happen. In the end somebody has to go to the net. Somebody has to block a shot. -Rick Tocchet

We've got to try to win 2-1 right now. That's our mind-set. That's what we tried to stress today. (We said) 'Don't worry about scoring a ton of goals, just try to win 2-1' and we did.

He's just a fun guy who loves the game. Any time you're in a lull, adding a guy like that to the lineup elevates people.
