Derek Laxdal Good Quotations

We literally got outworked in every zone. It was a clear, simple, good ass kicking.

That said, I don't want to disrespect their record. They're a very good team. We're definitely the underdog, and we'll take that underdog role.

We have a big one coming up in Alaska. We've got to make sure we go up there and play solid hockey. It will be a good test.

This series was good for our confidence. We got three solid goaltending performances.

You want your goaltenders to be good friends and want to work for each other and pull for each other. Competition is very good within a team, but it has to be the right competition. If two guys are battling and they don't want each other to do well, then it's not healthy for your hockey club.

I thought our guys played a great first period. You get a big lead and you play hard and sometimes it's hard to hold on to a big lead. But it will be a good character-building game for us.
