Ryan Smyth Detroit Quotations

I think we can play both styles. We've done it in the past and it's not a huge change for us. Going up against a team like Detroit that controls the neutral zone really well, we just have to make sure we're deflecting it to the outside.

That's a great hockey team. Beating that team in a playoff series is obviously a great accomplishment for our hockey club and we know it's a surprise to almost everybody outside this dressing room. We knew we matched up well against Detroit and we were able to do what was necessary to get through some tough patches and prevail in the end.

It's nothing in Detroit (compared) to what it is in Edmonton. It's loud in Detroit but it's nothing compared to Edmonton. Coming home with the series tied, it's going to be amazing.
