Brian Kilrea Quotations

We've always said that the back-up has to play at least 15 games, for himself and for your No. 1 goalie so you don't burn him out, ... We're hoping that David will get at least 15 games for us.

He wasn't worried about dropping positions (in the draft). He just wanted to play, ... We never advertised it, but we know what he did.

I think a moral victory comes more when you win a game. But at least some of our guys know that we can play, and we could have won it.

We can't afford to have any of our potential goal scorers out, especially him.

We know that Danny will get 50 plus games,

You have to ask the official. He told us that he heard him say something derogatory.

We won, we survived, and now it's a best-of three.

Tom Dempsey (the team's goalie coach) thought that the kid battled really well,

There could be more activity for him after the draft than through it.

We gave it away, that made it 3-1, and we sagged after that.

Is it going to hurt? You're not kidding it's going to hurt.

It would have saved us that last 50 seconds. It's a lot easier on coaches.

They're always a hardworking team, whether it's in their rink or our rink, ... They did extremely well in the second half last year, and I think that's going to carry over into this year.

It's not healthy to keep three, ... Somebody is always looking over his shoulder.

It's something we knew, it was just a formality.

It's important for us because when you win, everybody feels a little bit better.

Instead of trying to be too fancy, we need to shoot the puck more, ... At least when you do that, you've got a chance for a rebound and then something good might happen.

I hope someone looks at him, ... He's a leader behind the scenes and on the ice. He's a tough kid who played through a couple of injuries this year. I hope he gets a look.

I have the greatest respect for Vince and he has earned the opportunity to be a head coach which he most certainly deserves.

He's their Danny. I think he's been a top goaltender in this league for years,

Because he's 19, I don't know if (getting drafted) is going to happen,

All I know is we won, we survived, now it's a 2-out-of-3 and we'll see our fans Sunday. I don't think we could have played any better than we did in the first period. We played really well.

A lot of moves are made and you wonder who did it,
