Jason Smith Team Quotations

He (Rees) is not the quickest guy in the world and he is not overly skilled. His tactics to try and make an impact in the game are to try and put the players from the other team off as best he can.

I think so. I hope so. We want to be a team which will play 60 minutes night after night and for the most part, we've been doing that.

We played really hard. I'm not disappointed at all in how our team played.

We know how good a team we're playing against and how competitive the guys in that room are, how experienced they are.

We've got to get our team right. We're coming out slow, and the only time it seems like we play good is when we're down, and it shouldn't be that way at all. That's the mentality of a losing team.

I don't really know a specific reason why. We've gotten some good breaks against them and obviously enjoyed playing a team of Detroit's caliber.

It's obviously going to be important. As a team we realized that we can't spend time in the penalty box with a team like Detroit because of their high offensive power and the gifted players.
