Claude Julien Third Quotations

We have to get more traffic in front of the net. Those second and third chance opportunities won't come unless we start getting our sticks on some rebounds. But Belfour didn't make our job easy tonight.

Jose made some big saves in the third to keep us in the game.

Price is showing things at 18 guys don't usually show until their second or third year as pros.

We got better, and in the third period we took advantage of our opportunities.

At one point, you'll have to consider making a third unit.

It showed that our guys aren't going to quit and that they kept battling. I have to give our players credit for the way they battled in the third period.

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.

I'd say the worst scenario is that he would become a third or fourth line player. I think he's capable of being a top two line player.
