Lindy Ruff Gave Quotations

He was solid. He saw everything and was totally under control. He gave us momentum.

He gave our club a lot of confidence.

We took advantage of every break we got. We took advantage of our odd-numbered situations that we haven't previously taken advantage of in Game 3 and Game 4. The good chances they gave us, we made sure we finished. We made sure that we got them down when we had the opportunity.

With the style they play and the goaltender they got it's a very low-chance affair. The mistakes teams make they capitalize, and we gave them the lead right off the start. That let them play their style, and we didn't force them out of it.

We really played a tremendous game. We gave up scoring chances because maybe we were a little too aggressive but that same aggressiveness won us a game.

They came out hungry. They see where we're at in the standings, and they gave it all they had.

We got scored against on the few chances we gave up. We only got scored against because maybe we were too aggressive. That same aggressiveness won us the game. We dominated the third period, gave up one shot, and we didn't look back.

A big trade like that gave them a lot of momentum right off the bat. I thought they were pretty fired up.
