Randy Carlyle Felt Quotations

It does stretch the road trip out because then we go to Ottawa and sit there for two days before we play again, but we felt it was one of those things we should do.

We're doing something other than going out on the ice. We just felt that with our travel schedule and the games that it was getting monotonous, redundant. What we're trying to do is just bring everybody down, regroup and focus. The mental preparation is as big as the physical preparation when you're stepping into this Game 7 scenario.

I just felt on a whim that this would be a situation when he would get in there and give us an opportunity to win. It was just a gut feeling of a coach.

Robby said that he felt that he didn't even touch it. He thought it was there and it went off their player. That's why he was confident, when he came to the bench, that they were going to allow the goal.

It was just a decision that we felt he was going to give us the best chance for success tonight. We were fortunate to get it done.
