Quotes by Jason Chimera
The guys who are supposed to be scoring are scoring goals, and the guys who are supposed to be stopping the other team from scoring them are doing it.
I don?t look at the standings. Just over 50 points puts us in the playoffs right now, right?
It was nice to get five goals by five different guys. It's nice to get contributions from everybody.
It means a lot to win six games in a row. We can compete with the best teams in the league. I think we are a playoff hockey team. We proved over the last six games that we can play with anybody.
Back in the old days, Bryan Marchment and those guys were coming at you with their knees. And (the referees) let a lot of stuff go with the slashes and stuff. ... You don't see too much of that stuff anymore.
Both goalies were playing outstanding. Marc Denis was standing on his head all game long.
We were short-handed for the first 10 minutes of that period. That?s a huge goal to get the momentum back our way. I think it sort of deflated them a little bit after we got that goal.
We played pretty good in the first two games, but didn't get any points. Tonight we came out and played well again. They got a goal to tie it, but we kept working. It was a key win for us.
It bounced off Kipper and kind of laid there in the crease. It was nice to see the puck just laying there for you.
