Michel Therrien Quotations

I'm anxious to see how we're going to react. There's no doubt in my mind we're going to play a better game. I think the players have some pride and they want to bounce back and give them a good game.

He creates a lot of turnovers the way he can chase the puck-carrier. But he's got to chip in once in a while.

We figured it should have been a five-minute major. But the referee didn't call it. Turned out to be down the road the difference in the game, but there's nothing we can do about it.

I saw the game on TV when they played here, and Caron played really well that game. He almost stole the game. I wanted to give him a game before we go to the break and thought that was the right game to put him out there.

Lately, he's playing better. He's skating better. I think he's been better, more comfortable in his own end. He knows how to react in defensive situations.

One thing, we don't quit. Every shift we want to battle and play with a lot of pride.

We felt that we wanted him to play, to work on some stuff he needs to work on, to make plays and stuff like that.

It was good to see him on the ice. Hopefully he is strong enough to play (Saturday).

Eventually I want to get back as head coach of an NHL team; that's my goal. I'd rather be a head coach in the AHL than an assistant in the NHL.

It's so great just to get to the Super Bowl and so great for the city. Pittsburgh is just a great city for sports. Things on the hockey side have been tough lately, but we're rebuilding and we're cheering them on.
