Scott Hannan Quotations

We'll be fine and when I say that, it's nothing against those guys; it's learning from those guys. You can't keep everybody together forever. The great thing is, they showed us how to do it. You take a little bit of that and bring a little bit of your own stuff.

I don't know what he saw there. Me, Patty and him all hit each other at the same time. It's too bad in a game where both teams battled hard in their own ends to have it decided on a play like that. I thought it was a really weak call.

Give them credit, they came out and played a solid game, but I don't think we came with the drive needed, especially in a big game like tonight.

We've got to salvage this trip. We have to win, no question about it.

We've got to realize how important these games are. The way teams can get points nowadays, especially with the amount of games we have left, we can't let these things slip as it's really hard to make up points.

He's got that great shot, and on that second goal, he showed how strong he is not to get knocked down. That's a big play for us and a huge win in a four-point game.

Guys have got to realize we can't let these points slip away. You never want to be relying on other teams, especially down the stretch.

I think it's a misleading stat because it's the quality of the shots and chances that really matter. And I think those have gone way down since we've turned around and started winning.

I think you're always watching after your game. You want to be aware of what's going on. It's part of the race.

Just an inch to the left and that probably would've gone in.

That was the plan coming in, get home-ice advantage, go home and win the games at home.

We feel good about where we are from the last few months let alone the last few weeks. We knew it was going to come down to the end of the season. We're right where we wanted to be.

We were moving our feet a lot and drawing a lot of penalties. It was the way we wanted to come out.

We can't keep saying we'll do it later on, there's not a lot of games left.

When Joe came in this year, I thought it was great because it took pressure off both of them. It allows for a 1-2 punch, and they've proven that the last couple games. Defenses try to take away Joe, and Patty comes up with a couple goals that are huge for us.

We can't afford to make mistakes. I, myself, I'm supposed to be leading on this team. Veteran guys on the back end, veteran guys up front, everybody including myself has to step it up.

We've got to be happy with our third period and how we came together down the stretch. But we've got to be embarrassed about the first two periods.

We've been struggling to come back all year, but we stuck with it and did a good job.

These are the games you have to win. We've got to start climbing the ladder back into a playoff spot and get better in our division.

It's not like their power play was that great. Our PK looked out of place. We were chasing when we shouldn't. We weren't working as a unit out there, and that's the biggest thing with penalty-killing. Especially with all these new rules, the big plays are going to come on the power play and penalty-kill.

It was a miscommunication. Chimera is a pretty quick player and I've got to protect the middle of the ice.

They capitalized on our mistakes. That's what led to their first two goals. Then came the third period and we take a couple of penalties and they took advantage again.

They were really important points tonight, and we let them slip away. We've got to come out with more intensity from the first shift. I haven't played the way I need to play, and I have to step it up.

It was great playing in the World Cup, it was a great experience for me and I would love to do it again.

I just wanted to make sure I got it on net. It was another great pass by Joe coming from behind the net there. I don't know how he found me through a few legs, through a few sticks and put it right on the tape.

He's quick. We've got to take passes away, take options away, take away shooting lanes.

If I get the call I'll be ready to go.

If guys don't step up and play well, that would make it tough on our defense. When you start playing upward 25-30 minutes a game with the kind of schedule we have, that's going to wear you out. It's a key for these guys to come up and play big minutes.
