Matt Dineen Quotations

Chris has really been the guy to ignite us lately. He makes the big save and it gets the guys going.

Just anything that can build chemistry can help.

It's not a big deal for me. I played college hockey at St. Mary's in Minnesota. We'd have bus trips that were 15, 16 hours long. It doesn't bother me, but for a 17-, 15-, 14-year-old kid, it might as well be to the moon and back.

If you've ever rode on the bus for a long period of time, there's no way to get comfortable in one of those seats. You travel with 20 guys and 20 hockey bags -- 20 hockey bags take up a lot of room. They have to sit two to a seat. I'm lucky, I get my own seat.

Being a 14-year-old kid, it's a shock to their system. It drains their batteries, and it takes them a few days to get back to it. They've got bus legs for three days.
