Brad Shaw Puck Quotations

We have to, as players and as coaches, do a better job of preparing guys to play. We were not ready physically or mentally. We didn't seem to win many puck battles tonight.

I thought in the last 30 minutes he was the best player on the ice. I thought his rebound control was great. I thought his moving of the puck was outstanding. He made probably seven or eight key saves for us down in the last 25-30 minutes.

You need to do whatever you can do to make sure that puck doesn't go in the net.

This guy plays beyond his years. He has poise and awareness with the puck that he certainly doesn't look like a first-year player.

They use the new rules as well as any unit that you play against in this league. Their skill is so high and their body position, with Jagr, himself, he's a big man and when he has the puck it takes almost a man the same size and strength level to get it off because the rules inhibit the plays you used to be able to use on guys like that.

The individual puck battles that we were losing earlier this season, we won our share tonight.
