Bob Gainey Playoff Quotations

We have to recognize and appreciate the experience he's had with a very good team in Detroit over a long period of time, playing with great players in some of the best playoff competition, ... We have three young defencemen in Montreal (Mike Komisarek, Ron Hainsey and Andrei Markov) and his experience and knowledge will be an asset.

We don't have the luxury of being far enough ahead in the playoff race to be able to find positives when we don't win. The results overwhelm everything else.

Right now, we're in a playoff position and if we get some points in our final game, we're going to the playoffs. The other teams can't say that.

We were playing against a good team. We have respect for them. We have to play as well as we can and for as many minutes as we can. We took a lead and had to battle for it. It was a good playoff game.
