Game 1
“We screwed up a three-on-two royally.”
-Justin Williams
Game 2
“We’re not focused on the end result. We’re worried about our next shift. If you want to break it down even further, it goes to an individual getting ready for the games, doing what you need to do, taking care of your job. It’s one of those things we’re down 2-0, we’re down 4-2. We’ve been down a lot in the playoffs and we’re not focused on tying the game or winning the game. We’re focused on our next shift. You know what, that next shift might be a defensive zone shift where you need to grind it out. We don’t try to tie the game in one shift or come back in one shift, we just play our game. When we do that, we find ways to score big goals.”
-Dustin Brown
Game 3
“Played a solid game. No more than that.”
-Darryl Sutter
Game 4
“I must say, I felt pretty good in every game. It’s just tonight, we had the bounces. We talked about it the first couple games where, you know, especially against this team, you need that little extra puck luck.”
-Henrik Lundqvist
Game 5
“What we went through this year as opposed to 2012, the Game 7s, the backs against the wall, what we went through to get to this point is unique. Obviously every Stanley Cup is special in its own way, but we really had to earn this one.”
