Sean Burke Games Quotations

Especially in the U.S., people liken it to a starting pitcher or a starting quarterback, and hockey's different. You're the starter the night you're playing. The night you're not, you're the backup. I don't think a lot about it. You could be the starter to start the season and then two games into the season you find yourself on the bench and vice versa.

That might mean you play a number of games in a row or that you sit out a number of games in a row. I don't think this is going be a situation of him trying to stroke any egos. It's a Stanley Cup defending team, and whoever can get the job done is going to play. That's all you can ask for as an athlete, is the opportunity, and if you deserve to play you play.

It's very, very frustrating but on the other hand we have to find a way to win those one-goal games instead of losing them.

It's three games to one. We've got to win some hockey games. To blame anybody right now, it's too late.

It's good because after two days or so, you start to feel comfortable again. So it shouldn't be a problem when the games start.

It's been a total team effort, ... In the three games I've had to make some saves at key times, but overall we've played very solid. It's actually fun to sit back there and watch our team. We've played with a lot of enthusiasm and speed, and we've played pretty sound all over the ice. It hasn't been a case of us hanging on, we've played pretty strong.

I've got to play better and contribute more”. You've got to find another gear and come up with big games.
