Ken Hitchcock Peter Quotations

Peter felt real good today. He felt 100 percent, actually, and we pushed him pretty hard.

Peter is all business. At this time of year, the emotion is all in the players. It's all in your locker room. It doesn't come from the coach. The intensity and the emotion all come from the players.

Whatever Peter decides, he'll have our support. He's not going to play if he's not 100 percent.

I think that's a fair thing to say. I don't like it, though. I'd like to see other people step up. We're not a one-stick pony. People must step up when Peter is not on his 'A' game.

Whenever there's something in the stomach, you get nervous but I've been assured it's nothing. I'm still going to be nervous until Peter is back on the ice playing pain-free.

I've coached against Peter and he'll take numbers and get even in due time. You won't hear anything about it, until you see a body laid out on the ice and you'll wonder how that happened.

It would be nice to get Peter back, but we can't have doubt in our game.

Oh, I don't want to talk about what we did. Peter would never forgive me.

We had such a terrific start to the game. And to me, as soon as Peter went out, our whole energy just dropped right off the cliff. Our energy went right down the tubes. That's the second time that's happened and that's got to change.
