Quotes by Glen Gulutzan
All we want to do now is make sure we're playing with passion the last two games and make sure we have our switch turned on come playoff time.
The guys are rolling. We played a real good team and I'm glad we rose up to the challenge. We needed to improve against the top teams in the league and tonight was a big step for us.
He's a guy who's got a lot of skill and is a great character guy for our locker room. He's a big part of our team. He's physical, he can skate and win battles, and that's what the playoffs are all about.
I hope (the crowds) are big and loud and give our boys some energy, so we can try to win some hockey games. It'll be a heck of a series.
They've got good character, a lot of skill and a lot of depth. They're a real solid hockey team, from top to bottom.
They've just been on fire. They're winning games for us. They're all skilled guys who can play in the American Hockey League and they bring a work ethic to the table.
They came ready to play, but maybe their goalie wasn't quite ready, and it hurt them.
It's hard to maintain that playoff intensity for two more weeks. Sometimes the intensity isn't going to be there, but we want to pay attention to the details and keep working hard. If we do that, in most games we'll give ourselves a chance to win.
