Marian Gaborik Quotations

On a goal like that, they should take a look at it even more precisely. If they hadn't got that goal it would have been a whole different game.

Obviously it was a good buy. Very good buy.

I was skating for 10 days, so I felt good out there. The biggest thing is we won the game.

I felt pretty good. We are trying to be smart and use shorter shifts. I think that was working out there.

We've got to try to find more ugly goals out there.

It gives you a boost of confidence to get that goal.

That doesn't happen every day. I can feel a lot of confidence in this room right now.

I was used to not having to check the defensive zone. I had to learn to adjust to it, otherwise I was going to be in the minors.

I think he's the best goalie in the NHL. He made a lot of terrific saves and he was the key to the win.

I'm honored and I'm happy ... it's cool.

When the playoff picture isn't there anymore, it's hard to get motivated. But I think we are doing fine and especially these last few games we have to go out there and have fun.

We were really good tonight. The guys were hungry and we really wanted the puck and went after it. We also had fun.

We were talking about getting a lot of shots on them and trying to go for the rebound, and it worked tonight.

This team has confidence, especially at home. Everybody is on the same page.

This was a big game against Colorado in our own division, and this is a game we really wanted. We need to win as many games as we can but not feel they're must-wins.

We want to finish strong and get some wins. Some guys are battling for jobs and stuff, obviously. You want to end things on a good note for the fans. They've supported us the whole time, so we want to finish the best we can.

We got some rebounds out there. We've got to bear down on them and bury one.

The season was a roller-coaster. There was a lot of inconsistency. ...Overall it wasn't bad but we want to get to the playoffs. That's our goal so we fell short.

It was a very big win. We battled toward the end, got some breaks and scored some goals.

Once they scored that second and third goal we kind of stopped playing. We just can't do that.

As you saw against Edmonton, we can play against anybody when we're playing our system and everybody's ready. If we can be consistent in that and get some breaks, we can win some games.

That's been the story this year. When we get a lot of chances, we can't really bear down. Maybe be more patient. We get a little nervous with the puck in front of the net. Try to get some ugly goals.

I had to be patient, because I didn't really have my legs out there for most of the game. I was lucky to get the puck where I could do something with it.

I had a break on him and I got it. Manny has been Mr. Consistent all year. He has made some unbelievable saves this year and he showed it again in the shootout.

I'll take it day-by-day. I'm excited to play, obviously, but they don't want to rush it and I don't want to rush it.

You could see out there guys were hungry. It's a big game. The pressure was there, especially when you go back home after a month. We've just got to feed off this game and go forward.
