Lindy Ruff Needed Quotations

Miller made the key saves when we needed him. That's all you can ask of him.

Maybe Jochen needed to be carried off the ice, and then that's a suspension. That's sad, but maybe that's what it is.

He had a whole year that tested his mentality playing the game. He decided he needed to work out hard and become stronger.

I thought they were our best line. I tried to get them more ice time. I thought they came out at the start of the third period and set the tone. They did what they needed to do. They put in a very determined effort and played a pretty smart, physical game for us.

Our game was back where we needed it. We really skated well. They had trouble with our speed.

I was hoping to weather the first 10 minutes but we came out and controlled play and did the things we needed to do to set the tone for the game.

That's the creative touch that Daniel brings. We needed that tonight and we needed our big players, our offensive players, to step up.

It was a great team effort. Marty made the big saves when we needed them, and I thought we had some great support around him. Overall, that was as good a game as we've played all year long.
