Brad Shaw Played Quotations

In the second period, it was pretty good for us. We probably played as well as we can as a hockey team and didn't get rewarded quite as much as we thought.

Ricky played great. The last 30 minutes he was the best player on the ice.

You can win any game with goaltending like that. The last two games, and from the Olympics on he's played outstanding hockey.

This roller-coaster thing doesn't work. We had only a handful of guys who played to expectations and gave to the team.

As a team, we played our most desperate hockey.

York's line has played outstanding. They're the flag bearers for us. Every other forward was iffy. They'd have a good shift, then a bad shift. We never generated any momentum.

Once you've played in the NHL, I think you get a little misunderstood sometimes. These guys, with the salaries involved now and the way they get treated, people can lose perspective that these guys are human, too. Unfortunately, the job they've chosen, you don't get to have a bad day. It helps that I played in this league; it gives you a legitimacy right away ... But I don't know if there's that much advantage to it.
