Glen Hanlon Players Quotations

With the new rules and the speed of the players and the way that the game was officiated tonight, if that's the way it's going to be, then goodness gracious -- it's an exciting game out there.

I always go under the assumption that players are going to play until I hear differently. I'm sure he'll be ready to go.

His test is going to be consistency. The great players do it for 10 years, and I'm sure that he will be able to handle that. He's just so all about hockey that I can't see why he wouldn't.

(Johnson's) falling in line with all of the players that have worked hard all year long. To be rewarded, it's good. That definitely by far was his best game. He was the main reason we won the hockey game.

We were intimidated by their players and their speed. It seemed like we were in awe.

I loved it. They work so hard, and tonight was just a great endorsement of what these guys do. We were down to nine forwards. We had no players left, and in the end the ones we had were spent. For the guys we were able to put on the ice, I thought they did a pretty good job.

I really want to emphasize that we have good people here and we can never lose sight of that. Sometimes people focus on the things that went wrong and forget we have great players. I have told the players that I will be patient. ... I had a role model in my coach Pat Quinn when I was a player. He had a goal that he would never ruin anyone's outlook on the game.

His consistency is amazing. All first-year players seem to have some peaks and valleys to their game, and Alex is able to continue to play well.
