Wade Redden Quotations

When you've got an early lead like that, you don't want to back off at all. But I think they just kept pounding and kept working, and they got a few breaks, got a few goals, and before you know it, it's a 2-2 game.

We're not as good as we should be. We're an easy team to play against right now.

Whenever something needs to be done, it seems like he's the guy who's out there, leading the way. He's definitely a candidate.

Obviously, there are some important things going on with me. But it was the right time to come back.

I don't think you can replace a guy like Daniel Alfredsson. He does so much for this team and he is having such an awesome year. He's doing it all for us: Killing penalties and scoring big goals. I don't think it's up to just one guy to step up when he's gone. Everybody has to get the job done.

I don't think of anything too flashy, just get the puck at the net.

He was there to save us. We've got to be better for him (tonight).

He earned that one tonight. He had a lot of shots, and some quality shots, down low, scrambles in front, he seems to get in the way of them.

He earned that one tonight, ... He had a lot of shots, and some quality shots, down low, scrambles in front, he seems to get in the way of them.

I thought we battled pretty hard, ... Even though they tied it early in the third, we kept coming and got the win.

I wasn't surprised by any of the selections. It's a good group and we've got a great chance to win.

I was obviously just trying to come in and I really wanted play well. Sometimes when you're on the ice, it's easier to focus mentally than it is when you're off the ice.

We had a bad start and it cost us. We haven't been going as good as we had been and that's definitely got to change.

The power play has been up and down a bit the whole year, so we got a few more tonight.

When you have got an early lead like that, you don't want to back off at all,

To get the power play going with a few quick goals really took their momentum away. That was the difference. I don't think it was anything fancy, just getting the puck on net.

Even in the third period, we kept working, doing things well and coming up the ice together. We had everybody on ice on the same page.

Everybody in our dressing room sees what we have coming back and how close we came. I think we learned a lot from the experience.

I've never been in a hurricane, and I hope I'm not in one this time,

Team Redden is ready. If we hang four rib cages from the posts I think Zee could win.

The Olympics get more attention and there's more excitement I think. The (World Cup) doesn't have quite the same feel this does.

Alfie made a real good play. I just through it at the net and I don't even think Grahame saw it.

There's definitely a lot of guys at home who could be on this team, too. At other tournaments, guys have filled in and got the job done. Look at the leadership and how we always seem to gel. That's one of the strengths we have, too.

I've got my new Blackberry so I was on NHL.com keeping updated on scores whenever I couldn't watch the team.

They came at us hard and they kept hitting. We took the 2-0 lead and when you do that in somebody else's building, you had better get that third one. We weren't able to do that and they got the momentum.

It was great to get back into a regimen. It was great to get back to playing.

It's never happened before. I guess there was a little confusion on everyone's part.

I obviously wanted to play real well and I was able to come out and do some things, and I was pretty happy about that.
