Ales Kotalik Quotations

I was trying to find the puck between my legs. He caught me right at that moment when you're on your heels and kind of backing off and flat footed. That's just part of the game. It was a good clean hit.

That was a fun game for us. We knew we were going to need our top game to beat Ottawa with all the scoring they have. We showed we can play with them. This game was a pretty good statement for us.

We're always able to find a way to win. That's the confidence. You know you can do it and you know you will do it.

Boston is playing pretty hard right now, battling for their lives. Those games aren't easy. They might look easy, but they're tough. It shows our strength that we've been able to keep coming out of those games with two points.

Everybody kind of thinks that we're in there already. But the thing is, we've got to find our game. I think we're pretty close.

You should ask other teams how scary that is. For us it's just fun, a great feeling to have.

I couldn't find my hands for a while, so I was trying to get myself in the game in a more physical sense than I'm used to. That's what you've got to do when you get in a game situation like that.
