They were there, hit for hit. It was a very demanding game, and a fun one to play in.

I didn't expect that. He was fun to play against. It's nice to have the better competition.

The playoffs are fun. That's what you play for as a player and as a coach, and what the fans wait all season for. So the fun begins.

It's a huge week. The schedule makers got what they wanted, especially in our division. The good thing is we don't have to let other teams dictate to us. The future is in our hands. As players, that's the way you want it.

They got the final break at the end.

No matter what kind of chance they got, he was able to get a piece of it and keep us in the game. As a player and bench, you have to feed off the fact he is on tonight and we better be on, too, and help him out. He was phenomenal tonight. If we can get that every night, we'll do well.
