Marc Crawford Quotations

Winning a lot at the end is important, but not everything because you need to be healthy going into the playoffs.

Our focus is playing better and better together. It's a matter of getting our energies directed and focused in one area.

I really liked the way our goalie responded in the last two periods. He was probably the biggest reason that we got the two points tonight.

The second period was all Sharks and I liked the way we responded.

There certainly is no division in our group. It's a strong group. Right now, because we haven't performed well, yeah, we're a little fragile. How do you get past that? You get past that like anybody does in their lives, you work hard.

Only if it's the wrong message. I know it wasn't wrong.

Minnesota has a lot of injuries and, tonight, we caught them at the right time. But that's the NHL.

I thought they were everything that we expected and think they'll only get better and help our club.

We like the balance that our lines get. I think we can expect more from Matt Cooke and Richard Park playing with a centre as accomplished as Mo.

We concentrated an awful lot on our start tonight. We talked about what we wanted to do and still got off to a horrendous start. We're trying to make something happen and instead we gave a great chance right off the hop to one of the better shooters in the league.
