Gerard Gallant Great Quotations

He's right there. He's played a long career and he's still playing well. He's had a great career. He's a great friend. It was Gretzky and Lemieux in my era and he's right there.

We weren't playing great in the second period but we were playing okay. Then they come out and score three in the first five minutes of the third period. It takes a lot out of your team.

Colorado played pretty well, and I thought it was a pretty even game. Pascal made three or four great saves. He kept us in the game and gave us a chance to get some points but we couldn't score.

I?m sure both of those guys wish they were going to the playoffs and I?m sure they?re disappointed. But I think it?s great for our guys to see how they have handled this. There?s no quit in them. They still are working hard and competing hard, and I think that?s a big reason why we won those six in a row. It starts in practice and in the weight room, and their work habits there are obvious.

We didn't show up to play for a period and a half and it cost us the hockey game. We played a great third period, but it's just one period -- we can't do it for 60 minutes. That's been our problem all season long.

Great goal. Great move. He did the stuff we talk about all the time. He came with speed and took it to the net.

We're a pretty good overtime team and we had a great chance. It was a point on the road. We would have liked to have had two. But St. Louis battled hard, too.

The first period was a great period for us. We capitalized on our chances.

It?s great to see him get some scoring chances and make the most of him. He?s played hard, and you like to see guys get rewarded when they do that.

It was a great hockey game, it was our most complete game of the season. We got out to an early 3-1 lead and held on after that. Our team played very well. Marc Denis made some key saves.

We had a lot of good scoring chances in the first half. Then they went up 5-2 and it's pretty hard to come back against that team. I was looking for a great finish to the hockey game, but we got into trouble and they capitalized.
