Penner postgame quotes

Dustin Penner’s postgame thoughts…

(on the win…)
PENNER: “That was an emotional roller coaster. I think it’s a credit to the guys in the locker room, not to get down, especially when they score with 40 seconds left. For us to bounce back, it showed a lot of character and a lot of heart. It’s almost like ignorance, or a naive attitude, to where we don’t care if they tied it up. We’re going to come back and get the next one. Other teams might fold the tent.”

(on developing chemistry with his linemates…)
PENNER: “I’d say all three of us, me, Kopi and Willy. On my goal, Kopi made a great pass, but the play started with Willy on the blue line, making an extra effort after getting hit and sticking with it. Kopi came in, and you needed a base to start the play like that, to get it going, with the tic-tac-toe play that me and Kopi had.”

(on playing with net presence…)
PENNER: “I’ve heard that all my career, ever since I grew into my 6-4 frame. It’s always, `Be around the net, create havoc and open up ice for teammates,’ and that’s what I’m trying to do here, with guys like Justin and Anze.”
