Barry Trotz Great Quotations

He's a great player. He's got great hands and he's got speed. He wants the puck all the time. He got three goals and he will be in the Hall of Fame if keeps scoring like that in the National Hockey League, there's no question. But we never got a piece of him all night and we have to set that stage that way and we didn't. He got the hat trick and he deserved it.

He's a real professional that's a good human being and helps as a great teammate. When you encompass all those things, he's a real quality player but more so quality person.

He made a great pass on ( Scott Walker 's) goal (last Sunday). That's what experience brings. He sees the game at a little slower pace than some of the young guys.

I thought Mason played great and made some key saves. Not too many guys can win three games in a week and score a goal.

I thought both teams did a great job of respecting the rules.

Tomas is a great goaltender, but he just doesn't get enough respect around the league. He's one of the great stories we have. To see where he's come from to where he is now is wonderful. When you are coaching, those are the stories that you love. Because he wasn't in great shape, his attitude was off center a little bit, but now he's the hardest working, most fit, most professional guy. And he's still young.

A lot of credit goes to our penalty killers. Your best penalty killer is your goaltender and he was great again tonight.
