Michel Therrien Played Quotations

He was solid defensively, and he played the way I expected him to.

He came to see us after the second period and felt that he could try on the power play and we played him on the power play.

I saw the game on TV when they played here, and Caron played really well that game. He almost stole the game. I wanted to give him a game before we go to the break and thought that was the right game to put him out there.

Yeah, we played hard. We worked hard and played hard and I though we were the best team on the ice tonight, but we need breaks to win games. We didn't have any breaks -- all the breaks were against us. A few calls were against us, so it was one of those nights.

We found a way. That's a good thing, especially after the way we played at home. I think guys have a lot of things to prove to themselves and their teammates. We needed a strong game, and we got a strong game.

That's the kind of hockey we're used to seeing from the Devils. They played a really good game.

We deserve better. We played a good game. Lately, it's like to win a game you need breaks, we don't have breaks. You need some calls, we don't have the calls. It's tough to swallow.

Yeah, I like what I saw from the way they played the last game and even the game before, when we made that move. This is something I had in my mind for two or three weeks, how he was going to react as a winger.

We were the best team on the ice (today), by far. We played a great game.

I liked the way he played; that's why we called him up. He played with confidence. We wish him the best in Atlanta.

We're going into the break onto a positive note and that was important. We weathered the storm in the first period. Marc-Andre was phenomenal in the first, he made some key saves. The power play played really well and penalty killing for the first time in a long time didn't allow a goal.

He played really well. He moved the puck, and he was solid defensively. He played like I was expecting.
