February 26 postgame quotes: Matt Greene

On the team’s resiliency in the win over Colorado:
It was great, you know? Down by two. I don’t think we can say we’ve done that a lot of times, especially coming out of the break there and being in a shootout like we were tonight. Obviously you’ve got to buckle down defensively, especially om the P.K. I think for us to come out and pop six, it’s huge for our team, and when you do it when you’re down by two, that’s awesome.

On whether the team was due for a game like this:
It’s about time. About time. Something had to happen, you know? But, obviously it’s not our best game. We’ve played better than this and have been shut out, but when they come, you’ve got to take ‘em.

On Martin Jones’ saves in the third period:
Huge. Jonesy was awesome. He’s lights out. He’s great, man. We’ve got a great one-two punch going right now, and it gives the team a lot of confidence, too. They can dress both guys and give Quickie a little rest and [we’ll] see what’s going to happen tomorrow.

On what shifted the momentum late in the second period:
Great play by Kopi to stick it out there. When you drop down, you get down by two, you’ve got to answer back with one quick one, and we got that right away with Kopi, and then at the end there, just a good cycle. Rick, Carts and Tanner are doing a good job down there. That’s what we need. You need net-front. Those goals weren’t going in for us pretty much all year, and then guys were going to the net and paying the price. It’s good they get rewarded for it.
