Philippe Boucher Quotations

What we did for the last 40 minutes was a good sign. There were a couple of breakdowns early and that got us in a hole. But we have a lot of positives to get us on track.

Some nights you score, some nights you help in little ways. That was a little way. You make your presence known at times.

I'd like him to win it because I think he deserves it. Until you play on the ice with him and see what he means to this team, you just don't realize how important he is.

I think the group has come together because of him. We were all asked to step up a little, but I think he stepped it up even more. He plays half the game, so I think he just makes it easier for all of us.

Marty was huge. That's the Marty we know and the Marty we trust. He's an aggressive, confident guy. He's been a rock back there for us all year.

I'm so glad we came back, ... They didn't deserve the effort we gave them in the first.

We haven't really tested Theodore all series long. This was more the type of game we played all year.

We have a good group of guys that maybe came up short the last couple of years, not going as far in the playoffs as we wanted to go. Now we're going to try to get a chance to do it again in a new-face NHL.

We played 60 strong minutes. We didn't do that before.

We're trying to build confidence and a style of play with hard work, so this was big. We're moving toward that now.

We have to figure ourselves out. What do we want to be? How do we want to play? What type of team do we want to be going into the playoffs?

A lot of teams are changing, and they're going to have new faces,

It wasn't pretty. It was actually kind of embarrassing. It was nice to have a good answer.

It's a good feeling to play the way we did. But it's just one game.

He's still one of the best skaters in the league, ... You want Mike to have open ice. You hope that guys like him will be able to show their skills and take over the game.

He's scoring goals and making a lot of plays. He looks like when he was 25 or 26. He plays probably faster right now than I've seen him. He's got a lot of confidence, and he's obviously our leader.

I am very happy to get this new contract finalized with the Stars. My family and I love the city of Dallas and we are excited to know we will be here for three more years.

You definitely don't feel as much pressure. But this is Colorado. I think they're not your typical No. 7 seed.
