We played against very good teams, playoff teams for sure, maybe candidates to win the Stanley Cup. They're already playing playoff hockey and I don't think we're playing it yet. The two games teach us we are not there yet. We have to play smarter.

We want to win the whole thing (the Stanley Cup).

You do not play hockey for good seasons. You play to win the Stanley Cup. It has to be the objective.

Our team's goal is always to win the Stanley Cup.

You win a Stanley Cup, you want to be a part of it and I probably wouldn't have been that big a part of it if I stayed there. I wasn't playing that much and didn't really know how to deal with a coach like that (Mike Keenan) at the time, being 23 years old.

It was the kind of game that was played in the neutral zone rather than on net. Neither team had a lot of chances. They had a lot of guys back, especially against our line. We really played to their strength.
