Ian Laperriere Team Quotations

You can see how close it was for all these teams to get into the playoffs. Anybody really had a chance to beat anybody. The league wanted pretty much an even league and that's what they got. I think the No. 8 seed (in the playoffs) can beat the No. 1 and the No. 7 seed can upset the No. 2 seed and you can just go down the list. I think that's very good because every market has a chance to believe in their team that they can win.

When you keep a team like that in the game, that's what is dangerous. They just need a couple chances and they'll win the game like they did (Thursday night).

It's a good team win, but not too much time to celebrate that. We're going to Calgary and get right back at it.

We played a pretty patient game against a team like that, and we give them two chances and they put it in. We didn't sit back. Turco made great saves. It could have been 4-0 at one point. He made saves here and there. We kept putting pressure on them.
