Joe Sakic Win Quotations

Obviously, anytime you're mentioned with his name, it feels pretty special, ... It still would be nice to win the game.

We were just trying to get two points, just trying to win a game. There was no sense getting carried away with anything. We just wanted to win a game and that's the most important thing.

We know that Dallas isn't going to quit. We are up 3-0 and we want to do whatever we can not give them any momentum. We don't want to go back to Dallas if we don't have to. They have such a great hockey team over there and nobody here wants them to get a win and get on a roll.

We want to play well against Vancouver. We want to make sure we try and get a good win and have a good game there. We'll see how it plays out.

When you think of Canadian hockey, he was the greatest ever to play the game. When he talks, everybody listens. He has that much knowledge and respect, and whatever he has to say is important. It's not that we can't win without him, but we feel that much stronger with him.

Everything's in the past. We're moving on. We just want to win games.

They are not going to quit. They are going to fight, they are going to do whatever they can to get a win. There is no tomorrow if you don't win that game. That's what makes it real hard to win your fourth one.

It's a huge win for us. (Being ahead) 3-0 is obviously a lot different than 2-1 so, hopefully, we can find a way to keep this going. They're too good of a team; you don't want to give them any life.

(Thursday) was a good win for us, but we have to back it up with another one or it's all for naught.

It's a great honor, a privilege, and I'm looking forward to it. But to me it's not any extra pressure or anything. We're there to try and win a gold together.

We just have to worry about Calgary and have a better effort there. We always seem to have a lapse at one point or another in the game. We just want to play 60 minutes and get a win there and start moving up in the standings.

This late in the season with the standings, it's going to be a roller coaster. You win and you feel real good, and you lose, obviously it's tough. But we've just got to focus on the next game.
