Steve Rucchin Definitely Quotations

We did not do a good job in managing their pressure. There was a lot of running around and too many quality chances. Definitely the most sloppy game in this stretch, but fortunately, the power play came up big for us.

I was coming off the bench, so the puck came right across me. Long breakaways like that, you almost don't like having them. It gives you too much time to think. I think I was pretty fortunate, but I will definitely take it because the bounces have been few and far between for me this year. Special teams were obviously huge for us.

It's another game that will test what kind of team we are. We've had a lot of those this year, but this is so close to the playoffs. It's definitely a test of where we are and it could show what we're likely to do or what we aren't depending on what happens in the game.

It's definitely not a case of an over-dominating performance. We were fortunate in the fact that we played a team that was tired.

It was a pretty lackluster start. We got a little better as the game went on, but only a few guys came to play tonight. I don't want to think we're feeling too good about ourselves, but you never know. It's definitely going to be addressed, there's no question. It's a huge letdown.
