Joe Nieuwendyk Good Quotations

We haven't learned enough how to put teams away. We don't do a good enough job when we've got a team down and need to step on the gas a little bit to close it out.

We needed to get off to a good start, and that's as good as it gets. But just like we put the losses behind us, we've got to put this behind us too. We've got to get ready for a tough game against Montreal (on Thursday).

We don't do a good job when we have a team down. We have to step on the gas and close them out.

Five-on-five we're a pretty good hockey club. We've got some areas we've got to address.

It's tough, because you get excited after these wins, then you get a little demoralized when the other teams win on the other nights. But we can only control what we can do here, and we've been doing a good job with that.

That's a good hockey team. They work hard and probably are as physical as anybody we play.
