Tomas Vokoun Good Quotations

We had crucial breakdowns against a good team and that is not going to work. It's hard to win when you are making mistakes. Sometimes you can get away with mistakes, but we're struggling right now.

We played a little better, but we still have critical defensive breakdowns. You can't give a good team as many chances as we did.

We played a good all-around game and it showed on the scoreboard. We skated well. We had a strong power play. We hit. We did all the right things to win.

I think we have as good of a chance for gold as we did before today. This doesn't put you out of the tournament.

We've been getting some two-on-one chances or breakaways, but we're not taking the shots. We're shooting too much from the sides. Any goalie in the NHL is good enough to stop those.

We have a good team. This can all be forgotten soon.

We were able to get four points in two games against the Red Wings on the road, and historically that's never been the case. We definitely want some respect and I think we've achieved that. If you want to be respected as a good team, then you have to beat the good teams.

For European goalies coming over here the toughest thing is learning how to play the puck and deal with the traffic. You often have to fight through the traffic to see the puck. Those things you have to learn. Every European is usually good on breakaways and back door plays because we are so used to it. There are not as many shots back in Europe but (there are) a lot of back door dishes and plays around the net.

Maybe there are going to be more shots because of power plays and stuff like that, ... It's a good thing. The more shots you get, the more difference you can make.

Such a good couple nights for us. We did it again, we give them chances on the power play. They had like three posts it could have been different. It was our night. We had a great goal in overtime and we got four points on the road against the Red Wings. I mean, if you look at the history, that's never been the case.

I'm obviously pleased that we're in a really good position. I really like our team and that hasn't always been the case. It's still going to take a lot of work to get in the playoffs, but that's where you have the fun.

We have as good a chance as everybody, and I really believe that ... This team can go all the way,

Crucial breakdowns to a good team is not going to work. We had opportunities but it didn't work out.

It's tough to establish yourself. You just can't relax for a second. ... We've been playing well. Sometimes you get good breaks at home, but to win on a consistent basis, you have to be doing the right things, not just getting lucky.

They say the worst lead in hockey is a two-goal lead going into the third period. You can't sit back and let them keep coming at you. I thought we did a good job of skating and continuing to play in that third period.
