Paul Jerrard Quotations

He's a role player guy. He's scored two big goals against Houston.

We answered back fast and put a lid on their momentum. That was key to put their momentum at bay.

Those are three skilled players who are skating and creating. There is good chemistry between them.

We're very pleased with the battle. The guys were resilient and battled back all night.

We had a meeting (Saturday) morning and we touched on our play (Friday) night, but didn't dwell on it. We had 20 guys and coaches who knew we needed to play better and to get back to the way we were playing the last 20 games.

We set the tone early. We wanted to be able to grab the lead and play a solid 60 minutes.

We knew their power play was good going into the game. We took too many penalties. That's flirting with disaster.

I never really think about that. When I wake up in the morning and look in the mirror, (I don't think I'm) another black guy going to work. I just look at it as I'm another guy going to work trying to help our team win.

I'm disappointed a little bit because this is a game we could have had and let it slip away.

Everyone chipped in and blocked shots and battled. (The difference) was persistence.

It was a great shot with him driving to the net. At that point, we had all the momentum. We need to find a way to take over.

Their line was certainly much better tonight. They are all very important players and are gifted, but it was a team effort tonight.

This was a big win. They are a good team.

This is a very tough building to play in. We're not satisfied with the split, but we'll take it.
