Chris Pronger Game Quotations

We were a little bit more aggressive and they weren't taking quite as many shots from outside as they did in Game 1. We were just closing a little quicker. If you don't give them that time and space, they're not going to be able to get it to the net.

It looked like a penalty to me. They'd been calling that all game and I don't know why they picked that instance not to call it.

It was nice to get it off the back. We played a very solid game from start to finish.

It was pretty disappointing, obviously. To come out with two periods, in probably our most important game of the season, the way we did ... It's disappointing and disheartening to see the position we've left ourselves in. At the same time, we need to dust ourselves off and come out and play a good game against one of the best teams in the league in Detroit.

You could kind of see after that first game how important he was. Taking the focus off of us and putting it on him, he awakened the team and let us go about our job. It'll be great having him there from a leadership perspective.
