Mathieu Schneider Games Quotations

It feels good but it's scary if we have to match up with them in the playoffs. These are always huge games for us. Playing against them, our special teams have risen to the occasion.

I think it makes the game more interesting for the fans. For the players, absolutely the games become more intense each time. I'd like to see more of it.

That was a Minnesota (Wild) type of game, where they laid back in the neutral zone. Those aren't the most exciting games to watch and certainly not the most exciting to play. But we played into their hands at times, turning the puck over, instead of getting it deep.

It would be better for everyone. The hockey would be better. Six games in eight days is extremely difficult. But everybody is in the same boat, so you can't use that as an excuse.

This is the first time in my career in the NHL that I've played four games in five nights. It's just another part of the schedule that we have to deal with. The travel's terrible, but there are plenty of excuses. I think this team has done the same thing every night -- work hard.

The last three games we were always coming from behind and it is hard to win games that way.

The games keep getting more important as we keep playing them.
