Sean Burke Playing Quotations

I can't say that I would do anything differently as a coach, ... You have to go, if you have a guy playing well, you have to play him, that's the way it is.

I thought tonight was going to be that night. We're 0-0 after the first period on the road and playing well. But then it all falls apart.

We knew how big of a game it was. I don't think it's too early (to be concerned), but on the other hand ... our focus was playing one game and making a little bit of a statement.
