Regg Simon Guys Quotations

We started out very solid back there, then got young real quick. Now our young guys have grown up. I like where we're at right now.

I think each one of them has certainly earned it. The better your team does, the more notoriety you are going to get. The guys who have made the all-star game, they put in the hard work for it, but should be just as thankful toward their teammates. Without good players around you, you don't get to excel like that.

That has to give our guys confidence knowing that we can come over here and get a win.

If we go into the third period down 2-1, I like our chances. But a lot of games come down to two or three plays this time of year, and those guys made them tonight.

We always harp on our guys - good things happen when you shoot the puck.

Everyone was looking around the room for someone else to do it and someone else doesn't play for our team. I think it took close to a month for some other guys to reassert themselves.

That extra output from guys lower in your lineup makes the difference. We have guys on that third or fourth line that can score.

I think it hurt us number one from a leadership standpoint because John was our captain and Al . . . was a quiet leader with his effort he'd give every day. It hurt us defensively losing two experienced guys like that. Unfortunately, it coincided with the time we went through a slump. Whether that was part of it or not, I'm not sure.

They got the momentum there in the second, but I stressed to our guys that that was as good as we would see them all night. I knew as long as we could get to the locker room at 2-2 we'd be OK.

Your guys that have scored all year should be scoring in the playoffs, too. (Sioux Falls') two big defenders were doing a good job on them with hooks and holds, but they always find a way to score.

We have guys who have good instincts. They know when to lay back and make the safe play.
