Sidney Crosby Net Quotations

He went hard to the net and that's what you have to do to score. It's nice to see a guy like that get a goal when he has a chance to play on the top line.

I saw Whitney break his stick and they had a 2-on-2, but there was a guy going to the net and (Whitney) didn't have a stick to stop the pass. I yelled his name and got my stick to him the best way I could. I wasn't sure if they were going to call a penalty but I was just trying to save a goal because I knew the pass was going to get to him.

You don't realize sometimes what putting the puck on net does. Sometimes defensemen turn their backs and maybe look at the puck, or it gets the defensive team moving and maybe a little bit confused. If you get it to the net, a lot of things can happen. It's the simplest thing, but sometimes it does get overlooked.

When you go through a time like we have, you go to basics. Get the puck at the net and play simple hockey, and try to get back (to winning) that way.

It would have been nice to get an empty net goal. We had a little scare when they came back in the second. But it was a good test for us, a test of character. It showed the confidence we have in each other now to come back.
