Quotes by Kirk Maltby
All year we have been a better on the road as far as our record is concerned. I think we should take a little bit of our road game and start implementing it at home.
I don't want to predict and say who or what might happen, but I don't think it would be a surprise. We know what the expectations are in here.
I'm not mad at him or anything. He's an aggressive player, and he plays hard. That's what I would expect.
It was a bit of a surprise that on their first few dump-ins you were waiting for someone to come flying in and hit you and they're sitting back at the blue-line. It's definitely not what (Edmonton) is used to watching and what we're used to seeing from them, but they're going to do what they feel is necessary to win a series.
It's down to the best two-out-of-three now. These guys are going to keep coming until the series is over.
It's nice to be in familiar surroundings again. It's kind of a normal routine that we're used to. We're looking forward to the first on-ice, and seeing all the familiar faces and that. It's just good to be back again.
It is tough when you think you win. We were hoping if we got off the ice soon enough, they wouldn't review it.
It seems in this conference, every season, there are hot teams who make it in the playoffs and do a lot of damage.
It's just nice to kind of stop the bleeding in that area and finally put a zero up there. They didn't get a lot of second and third chances. We had a chance to clear the puck out from in front of the net, and Jimmy made some nice saves. Hopefully, we can play a little better on the penalty kill, because specialty teams now are huge in the success of teams.
