Jose Theodore Best Quotations

But we need to be ready to play our best game Tuesday because Ottawa is one of the best teams in the NHL.

I think that that was their best game of the series. But nobody thought we were going to sweep the series so we just have to forget about it and move on.

I thought Dallas tonight played their best game so far. They came at it, they were moving the puck around, jamming the net and getting a lot of traffic in front of me.

You can be the best goalie or the worst goalie out there but when the playoffs start all the stats are back to zero. The guys came out flying and our team was focused.

We didn't play our best game in Edmonton (in the regular season finale). But afterwards, the practices, I saw the intensity was so much higher.

This is obviously the most important time of year. As a player, this is when you like to play ... and when you want to be on top of your game. I think on the ice is where (the game) is played. We all know they're a great team and they've got a lot of power. We'll respect that team but we'll have to do what we do best and concentrate on our team.

For myself, it's out of my control. I can only play my best and see what happens. Obviously I want to be part of it, that would be a great experience. But I feel like I did everything I did and I'm happy with the way I played and I'm not picked, it's up to them. I can help Montreal out by helping myself out also.
