Daniel Alfredsson Win Quotations

We took advantage of (a) power play we had at 5-on-3 and gave ourselves a chance to win with the nice passing play.

I said even before this tournament that I thought seven teams could win this and I really believed that.

We have to look at this as a great challenge for us because they're going to be playing pretty desperate hockey. They've got their backs to the wall and they have to win. This would be a big win for us if we're able to pull it off.

We were just solid as a team and you could see that they didn't have much. They looked like a tired team that wanted to get home. I don't think (Huet) saw either of those shots. That's a good win for us. Now, we have to keep it going.

We knew Washington has been playing well. They work hard. Coming up with a win was big for us, no question.

We all knew coming into this building it would be a hard-fought game. It was a big boost for us going into the playoffs to win a big game like that.

I told myself not to try to think about it too much. I felt not bad actually, not super but pretty good overall. It was a good win especially because we wanted to get off to a good start and this is a team we should beat.

It's been a big struggle for us and it's frustrating. Especially at home. You come back like we did and get the crowd into it and then can't win it for them. Maybe we've got to try some different shooters because we're not having success.

He's one of those guys that can win you a game. He runs the power play. It's a big boost for us.

I can only speak for myself, but the No. 1 thing for me is to win a Stanley Cup.
