Eric Staal Game Quotations

They've played two good games against us, and we wanted to come in here and prove to ourselves that we can beat that team, ... We know we've got a lot more games against them, so we have to keep getting better.

I'll do whatever I can to promote the game.

It will be nice to get back home. We want first overall in our conference and first overall. We're going to try win every game from here on out. It's too bad we didn't get one tonight.

You never want to lose three games in a row, let alone going into a break. Go into the break and rejuvenate and come back and be ready to go.

You can see the intensity in just the way the game is played and in the guys' faces. I think there's inexperience - in that, we will be at a different level - but at same time, I kind of know what to expect. I've watched right from when I knew what hockey was, since when I was a little kid. I grew up watching the league all the time, and the playoffs. There are games every night of the week, so I loved it. Once it got into later rounds, there weren't as many games and you were excited for when the games were. It was a lot of fun.
