Brendan Shanahan Great Quotations

Philadelphia is a great team, but I think we caught them a little tired.

We lost some guys from last year, but I think they did a good job of keeping this team intact, and we think we've got another good shot at a Cup here. With Colorado, it's always going to a special game for both teams. There's been such a great history of great hockey between us.

He made some great saves throughout the game, especially in the third period. Sometimes it's tough when you have a goalie you don't know. We had a couple guys all alone on him, and he kind of has a unique style. He had our shooters guessing a little bit.

He made some great saves throughout the game. We had a couple of guys all alone on him. ... He kind of had our shooters guessing a little bit. He played a great third period, a great game ... but a great third period.

We were in such control, and then to give it away like that, it's just embarrassing. It summed up the whole series. We were playing great hockey, playing great hockey, and then it was a 6-7 minute collapse. Who has an answer for that?

We rolled four lines, we got a lot of gritty effort from a lot of different people at both ends of the ice. People talk about our ability to score, but we've also got a great ability as a team to play great defense.

I sometimes shake my head at the some of the things that J.R. says, but in the end, L.A. is a great market and I hope he puts us on the front page there every week.

We didn't get off to a great start. But from the 10-minute mark of the first period for the rest of the game, we played a pretty strong 50 minutes.

Sergei is a great player with world-class talent. Adding a player like that, I'm sure Columbus is hoping it'll get a lot of their young guys excited.
