"He's been a great goalie ever since he's been here"


Shea Weber Mar 13 2010 7:20 PM from Sporting News

"We had 14 shots in the first period and had things going out way, but we took ourselves out of it with two penalties and a 5-on-3 goal. That was the difference in the hockey game ... You wouldn't think that one goal would be the..."


Randy Carlyle Mar 13 2010 3:18 PM from Rutherford Daily News Journal

"We were very aware of our record here. This is not an easy place to play ... They've always had good teams here and it's tough. But tonight we did a good job of limiting them and getting the goal we needed."


Shea Weber Mar 13 2010 3:18 PM from Rutherford Daily News Journal

"We were really preaching defense tonight, especially after two periods in a 1-0 game ... They've got some firepower over there, and their top two lines can really score. So we just wanted to stick together as a five-man group and..."


Shea Weber Mar 13 2010 3:18 PM from Rutherford Daily News Journal

"It just shows the character and the discipline and the work ethic ... A lot of penalties get called on hooks, holds and trips when you're out of position. So we make sure we work hard at staying in position and using our legs...."


Steve Sullivan Mar 13 2010 3:18 PM from Rutherford Daily News Journal

"Our game plan was to definitely stay out of the penalty box ... Our penalty killing isn't very good, so we have to make sure we made their power play sit on the bench _ because we know that's their biggest threat with all the..."
