Chris Matteo Quotations

We can expect a much better hockey team. It's very obvious that they want to come in here with a purpose, that they want to make a statement about where they belong, where they should be ranked. You can be sure that after the way we beat them the first time, they're going to be coming for blood.

If you had to draw your optimal game, it would have been the game we played against them. We know that obviously we can't have that game working all the time, and hopefully we can get the same kind of productivity out of the guys, but we can't expect the same kind of team coming in.

Being here for three years and knowing nothing but coach, it's certainly going to be an adjustment. It's a testament to coach that, when he's gone, he's left such a strong base that we're going to do just fine.
