[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]
I haven’t had the biggest amount of playoffs experience, but we’ll find out.
It’s something that all great athletes have done. It’s time to step up now.
- Rick Nash
I know they’re skilled. As a goalie, you have to be confident and believe in your game and in yourself when top players are coming at you.
I think as a group we’re confident and we believe that we’re doing the right things.
- Henrik Lundqvist
Yeah, we’re sick of practicing. We’re not used to it, especially this year, you’re playing every other day.
This is the time of the year you should be playing. I’m not complaining but it’s a lot of time. I can tell the players, they’re chomping at the bit to play.
We cut our practice short just to get on the plane and get out of here.
- John Tortorella
