Mike Sullivan Job Quotations

I think the players are doing a great job of forcing the issue with their relentless pressure up the middle of the ice and I think when we play that way, we're a difficult team to play against. We certainly have shown that we can get results when we buy into it.

I think it's a credit to the players themselves. And I think (coach) Scott Gordon does a terrific job with the team in Providence. We play similar ways, so from a tactical standpoint there's not a lot of difference. I think all of those things kind of make the transition a little more seamless.

There's nothing we can do about it. But if you asked me why we lost, I'd say we have to do a better job on our power play.

We have to do a better job controlling momentum. We have to understand those critical situations, and we have to take charge in those areas. It will give our team a better chance to win.

It's a concern. I don't think it was a case of the power play losing the game for us, but it had the chance to win it for us and it didn't. We've got to do a better job of getting the puck to the net.
