Dave Allison Played Quotations

He didn't see a lot of shots, but he played neat and tidy and was strong in the third period.

We played short tonight and got a good effort, but we need to win those hockey games.

We played well, especially during the first 40 minutes. Chicago got some breaks on goals. . . . We've got some good guys in our dressing room. We'll right the ship and right it quickly.

The way we played (at Omaha) forced us to make a decision on what we wanted to be - contenders or pretenders. We went into Peoria the next day with our backs against the wall . . . we played grittier.

Anyone he's played with has elevated their game. He has the ability to make people around him better.

The first two periods I was disappointed because we played well for 60 minutes last night and I was looking for that to carry over. We didn't do those things. It comes down to mental toughness to pull through. We have to find a way.

They earned the respect of North American players. They played gritty. They were winners. They made people around them better.
