Eric Staal Good Quotations

We needed the win. I didn't get as much wood on it as I would have liked, but I found the back of the net with a good screen in front.

It was kind of a seeing-eye goal. We had a good screen in front of him and I don't think he saw it.

We're happy with the way we're playing right now, but any time you can get a little bit of a break and get some rest to some guys and kind of lick your wounds, it's a good thing.

It doesn't come by yourself, it comes with other guys that you play with and teammates. It's been a good year so far and obviously we need to finish strong, and I would like to finish strong and be ready for the playoffs.

I think I'm playing the wrong position because there's so many great players from Canada. They won Olympic gold last time. There's so many good players that are going to get a really good look. You never know. I'm just going to continue to do my best this year. I mean, if they give me a shot, they give me a shot. If not, maybe next time. I'm going to continue to push myself and be the best I can.

I was glad to still be playing. I got in a good year with a lot of minutes. Maybe some of the guys who didn't play had a harder time getting back into the groove.

I'm feeling more comfortable, more confident, ... I'm just feeling real good on the ice right now and the puck is finding me.

They've played two good games against us, and we wanted to come in here and prove to ourselves that we can beat that team, ... We know we've got a lot more games against them, so we have to keep getting better.
