Mike Williamson Guy Quotations

Mike has really developed into a guy where if you need a goal, you have him in on the ice and the same when you are defending the lead. He plays in all situations and provides leadership in the dressing room. He logs a ton of ice time.

I think he will be strong defensively with an offensive upside, but he needs to work on his shot and get a stronger to handle the guys up there, but he skates and passes well. The NHL game is a more controlled game than here and I think he will suit that kind of game very well.

I think, and I hope, that there is enough pride in our guys that they'll make it tough. We want to make it very tough for Vancouver to get that next win. We'd like to bring the series back to Portland.

I certainly don't want to take anything away from Vancouver. They are a very good team. But, we didn't have enough guys compete to the level of their ability.
