Cory Sarich Quotations

We're going to have to play a team defense against them. It can't just be two guys back there. It's going to have to be five guys working together. That's our style anyway, and when we've had that this year we've been successful.

One year I had about 14 different returns. That's a lot of signatures when it comes time.

I don't have an explanation or excuse for it. They played better than we did and we weren't very good. That makes it 8-2.

I don't even remember it. I was just going in full speed. He smoked me. He had a great hit in the neutral zone. And I just wanted to return the favor.

He's just very difficult to handle. He's got all the elements, he's got all the tools and that's what makes him so effective.

He was a big part of the reason we didn't get two points.

I think it's more us than them. We've just shot ourselves in the foot at critical points. I think it's mental. You get beat on that many times and it starts to wear on you.

We needed effort, desperation. Those were the two biggest keys we talked about in the past 24 hours. If anyone didn't come out and give it their all, they must have been deaf.

With how brutal we were in San Jose and how dead we were, I made up my mind almost before we had our talks. But that definitely reinforced the idea.

There's just been more of a commitment on our end. We've started playing better team defense. ... The biggest thing has been a commitment by all the guys on defense out there.

It's going to be different turning around and not seeing him there. He has been behind there it seems like forever.
