They backed off, and then there was a big gray area and it got worse. I think they have to stick with it; they have to call it.

I don't think it's so much that we won, I think it's how we won and the players we had and the way they held themselves and conducted themselves on and off the ice. I think that, sometimes, is almost more important than winning. We did it with so much class, with such good feelings in the city and amongst the fans. That's what really made it special.
