Alain Vigneault Teams Quotations

We're going to see probably one of the hardest (working), most physical teams in the league coming in. They don't score a lot of goals, but they play hard. A lot of times, they don't even want to play the puck, they just want to play the man. It's Calgary, in-your-face, finish-checks hockey. It's going to be a big challenge for us and the bigger the challenge, the bigger we're supposed to respond.

We've already made the decision. Most teams put five, but we're going to put six.

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.

You shouldn't need a carrot. There are eight, nine teams right now that are in a tight pack and we're right up there with them.

Any one of those teams can win, that's how strong our division is. The fact we've been pushed in our division from Day 1 is great.

Those teams are playing really well right now. We're in a tough division, a good division. You've got to get better every week.

If he wants to play in the NHL against good teams, now he's playing against one of the top teams in the American League and he's got to find away to make a difference in the game. The only difference I see is that Max doesn't play the puck as much around his net as Flats (Wade Flaherty).
