Alain Vigneault Guys Quotations

We might be a little off as far as our timing goes. But our guys are going to be fine. This was a well-deserved break for them, they should be re-energized and happy to get back to work.

We've got some guys who aren't here and they've got some guys who aren't here who will be in the playoffs. I just want us to continue to play well. The guys are feeling good about themselves right now.

He gets to the net and uses his speed. When you have speed on the penalty kill, it's a pretty good thing. It's useful for us. On your fourth line, you want energy and guys to be momentum shifters. When you have speed like Brownie has, it enables you to change the tempo.

One of our mandates with Vancouver is development and they'll decide whom we develop and who we don't. The other side to this is that we think we've got a pretty good team here and we'd like to have a shot. We're going to be in the playoffs and if we can keep a similar (roster) we have a chance to compete and do well. Obviously, we'd like to see the group stay the same but if certain guys get called up or are moved and go to the NHL, we'll be happy for them. We'll just have to wait and see.

It's great they're getting this opportunity. A lot of times you hear guys saying 'you never gave me a chance.' Well, now they've got it. They've got the football, let's go with it.

A win is a win, but the guys weren't happy -- they would have preferred to do it in regular time. It's a big win for us and I liked a lot of parts to our game.

This is two games in a row where our offensive opportunities are as high as they've ever been. The chances (to score) must have been 25-5 tonight. I'm happy with the way our guys played. Obviously, I would have liked for the power play to put the game away ... but the guys are working hard.

Off the bat there, our guys were thinking that there were four days before the next game and were (going through the motions). That's not the way to get better. Sometimes, like anything else, you need a reminder. And I'm the reminder guy.

I don't see this as any different from any other time. We've got two good offensive lines, a couple grinding lines and guys on D who are going to get a lot of ice time.
