Joel Quenneville Great Quotations

We're in a great race. (Tonight's game) is a huge game for both teams, very meaningful. We've played them well in most of the (previous) six games.

He's a threat every night. He's got jump, he's got energy. I think that's a great compliment for a young kid: knowing that each and every night (the team is) getting something from him.

He could see more ice time in the next little while. His minutes have fluctuated on a game-to-game basis. But I think he's got a presence offensively, and he's got some great ability.

I think with Al there was always this thought that he was just a slapshot. (But) he controlled the defensive zone, he was able to control the pace of the game, and he had the ability to make great passes. There were a number of things Al did besides generating a threat on the power play. And he did it at an age when you see players at that position get slower. It seemed like he was almost getting better as he got older.

It's always great to see some of your friends and some of the people you were with for a lot of years. It's a special game and a special day, but we're just trying to win.

It's great to be back, I love it here in St. Louis. It was a special day. It's good to be back behind the bench coaching a game here.

It was an opportune goal for them, knowing we had a great opportunity to go up with 4 minutes (on the power play). A short- handed goal is usually a big swing in the game, and (Sunday night) was a great example of that.
