Alain Vigneault Played Quotations

We're looking at getting him 50 games, plus the playoffs. He didn't even play 50 last year combined with the playoffs (Flaherty played 48 total), that's why I've been careful with his playing time and rest time.

We played a really strong first period and it was 0-0. I don't know if we lost our legs because we definitely found them in the third. I'm not sure what it was. They outplayed us in the second period and that's where they won the game.

We played where we wanted to play and took a lot of their skill away by making the right decisions and finishing checks and being gritty in certain areas.

We played with the urgency and desperation that the situation demanded. We scored two and that was an improvement for us.

They took the lead, and we just didn't stop. Even though it was a 2-1 game, it was one of the more entertaining games of the year. Both teams played with a lot of courage.

In all the games, we worked really hard. This was a tough grind here. The schedule was backwards. It made it that much more challenging for us. I'm happy with the way we played throughout the trip.
