Alex Tanguay Quotations

Obviously, we're not some of the teams in the past. We don't have as much depth as we had in the past, scoring wise. We did play bad a few games, and with Patrick (Roy) in net and (Peter) Forsberg and all the tools we had offensively, we could still win the game.

These are real important games right now. Tonight, the power play worked really well.

We played very solid after it was 3-0. We could have easily tied it up. If we play the rest of the way like we did the last 30 minutes, we're going to be successful against any team. It should be a confidence builder.

(There's) lots of frustration. We're going to have to battle harder. That power play's got to get going. Right now I think we just have to settle down and practice hard. Some of us are not playing very well. I expect more out of myself, especially on that power-play unit.

We're still way behind them (six points) in the standings, so I think we have to be aware of that, ... We knew it was going to be an important weekend for us, and they're a very good hockey team, so we have to make sure we're ready.

We just didn't want to see the same thing happen as we did last week. This was an important win for us and this is a very important home stretch for us.

Just seeing his work ethic I think has been the best thing for me. I'm learning something every day at practice; every game. The way he works, the way he prepares himself every day. I think that's important for a young kid like me and it's great to be able to learn from a guy like that.

We have to make sure we hold on to that (the lead). In the playoffs it's really important that once you are up by one or two (goals) that the game is over.

This team over the years has always been through a stretch where we won 13 or 14 out of 15 or 16 games. That's what we need to do right now.

We got a few lucky bounces. We're very fortunate.
