Ville Nieminen Neutral Quotations

Our plan was to kill the game in the neutral zone. I'm not saying we killed the Russians. But we killed the game in the neutral zone. That was our chance to play against them.

We kill the game in the neutral zone -- if we didn't do that, the scores would be the other way. Those guys who got named the second and third wave add excitement and energy to our room.

We need to slow them down, take their time and space and their excitement away. Their team is scary, one on one, so we need to outman them everywhere and play really well in the in the neutral zone so they can't use it as a runway.
