Lou Lamoriello Quotations

Any time a milestone comes, you feel good about it. I don't think anybody was thinking about that or worrying about it, including Marty, if you know how Marty is.

I really wasn't thinking about it, to tell you the truth.

I'm the person who has to find those answers and those solutions. We have some players who are not performing up to expectations. That's not acceptable.

We did have a conversation last night when he told me, and as you can all imagine it was a difficult conversation from both parties,

I don't look at it as a step back by any means.

I don't know if everybody played better just because he was there, because he's only on one line. I thought all the lines did the little things that had to be done. Turnovers were minimal. Our positional play was one of the better. I thought our power play moved the puck and had great chances. That's all you want.

It's certainly disappointing. In the second period, we sort of had all the territorial advantages, but still couldn't score the goals. We made individual mistakes and they cost us.

He does the little things and he's strong. He's hockey strong.

You could look right through that lineup tonight, and I don't know if you could find any passengers. That, to me, is the most impressive thing you could say.

I think the biggest compliment that I could pay this team today is that that they're not looking at this streak as something totally exceptional. They're more focused on doing the things maybe we weren't doing to allow us to have the opportunity to win. ... I sense a tremendous maturity in that room with the core character. I couldn't be more impressed.
