Jim Schoenfeld Game Quotations

It was a good game where both teams did a good job of not giving up much. When we play these guys, it's always a grind. I thought we had good effort. It was one shot where the guy made the initial save, but it's awkward for the goalie sometimes.

Fedor had a strong game. He was strong with the puck and made good decisions and plays. We're looking for that high energy consistently. Not for two shifts or two periods, but the whole game and hopefully the next game as well. He's aware of how we like him to play.

We'll see how they look in practice and make an evaluation Friday. With three games, I'd like to get them in one game to get a look at them.

It is what it is, a circus. I'd prefer to start on the road and have home ice for Game 7, which is what we would have. ... But there's no sense crying about it because it's the situation we're in.

Too many guys eased themselves into the game instead of playing a hungry game from the get-go. They wanted to test the waters to see if it was going to be too rough for them to handle. You can tell by the guys who won't win a battle along the boards or the guys who won't even get to the boards to get into a battle.

We have to find a way to win with what we have. If you start playing those games in your head, you convince yourself you don't have a good enough roster to win, and I certainly don't want our guys thinking that way. We have a good enough team, so maybe we'll have to win a little differently.

Both guys have had a few good games lately. Monty will start, and we'll evaluate as we go.
