Vancouver coach Alain Vigneault:
“The first thing we wanted to do obviously was shut down their best line. I thought, except for that last shift where Kopitar was able to read our defenseman, our guys did a pretty good job containing them and keeping them to the outside. They’re such a strong line. From there it was about being patient and waiting for the right opportunity.”
Vancouver goalie Andrew Raycroft:
“It was a nice, greasy road win. We’ll take them all year. It was nice to win on the road. We did a good job killing penalties and keeping that top line off the score sheet. No time, no space.”
What I kept thinking all game was how great the offense looked in spite of the trap…I mean…I thought I saw three pretty solid lines out there!

Yeah, Kenneth. Three pretty decent lines out there last night.
That Raycroft sure seems like a smug fellow, doesn’t he?

Can’t take anything away from Raycroft. He stole them two points! The rest of the team is quite fortunate.
