Claude Julien Team Quotations

A team that wants to be considered a good team can't play the way we did tonight. If we just want to be an average team this year, then that's another story.

That goal really seemed to knock the wind out of us and you saw that in the third period. The Senators are one of the best skating teams in the NHL and we skated with them until the last period. We came out flat and they just took over from that point on. For a team that also played last night, they still had their legs tonight. Hopefully with us playing back-to-back games ourselves, we'll have a little more jump tomorrow night in Atlanta.

He's so respected by his teammates for what he does. He picks up our bench every time he blocks a shot or makes a big hit.

They are a hard team to contain. But we got some timely goals and terrific goaltending. It was battle-tested victory for us in many ways.
