Tim Taylor Good Quotations

For some sort of reason, they scored their first goal and right after that they seemed to get a lot of momentum off of that and carry the play. Ever since then we were trying to play catch up and it's not a good situation when you are playing catch up in a game like that.

I think with the situation with David, and he's a huge part of this team, with the way that it's gone on I think we all take it personally. We all need to step up. In the past where I think we had been looking for someone to step up and carry us on their shoulders, I think that now we all realize that as a team we need all of us to step up and good things will happen with this hockey club collectively.

I think we have to clean up the little things ... the little things that made us a real good team. That's winning all the loose-puck battles. Killing that big penalty. Scoring the big goal on the power play. We've lost a little bit of that. We're playing well, but not well enough.

We feel good about this win, but we didn't play particularly well.

We were not at our best today but we got the win. In a game like that, it's a pretty good sign.

Absolutely. This was about pride and it showed our players that if we work hard in all aspects of the game, good things happen and you have good outcomes.

Dave is a very proud individual. He's a great character guy. It would be disrespectful to him if we let this be a distraction. He has instilled a good attitude within this hockey team - and that is to push forward. He would want us to get better and prepare for Friday's game.

I felt that our team came out and played a real good playoff game. I think we put ourselves back on the map as a playoff team for two periods. We know how we can play. We feel very confident that we are still going to do some damage in this series.
