Nick Vitucci Nice Quotations

That's playoff hockey on Feb. 1. It was a fitting end to a great hockey game. Both goaltenders were phenomenal and there was just really nice hockey being played out there.

Huge. This is a relief. This is excitement. It's just a culmination of 72 games that this team has just grown and matured so much. What a nice reward we got tonight.

Sometimes when you're pressing, you squeeze the stick too hard and instead of a goal you have a handful of sawdust. A big team effort and victory erases all of that. It's nice to get off this little slide we were on. Our mindset will be so much different. They know how hard things have been and it's nice to see them leave the rink with a well-deserved smile.

We've certainly worked hard to put ourselves in that position. The next three games will dictate whether we have home-ice advantage or win a division title. It's nice to be in that position.

Right now it's better than ever. It's nice to know that whatever line we put out there, they're capable of putting it in the net.

We sent the fans home happy and ourselves as well. It's nice that everyone will be able to enjoy tonight with a smile on their face.

When our backs are against the wall, we are a confident team and that's very nice from a coaching perspective.
