It's always great when a defense is able to create turnovers and score. That's something we missed last year. We'd get some turnovers, but we never scored points.

It's important for us, if we're going to be a good team, to be a good defensive team in the fourth quarter.

You have to play defense, that's how you win.

It just wasn't right the way they were behind by 25 points and then they're told to hold the ball.

Your most precious possessions on offense are your twenty-seven outs.

We have to get better at that. All of the Stanley Cup winning teams throughout the past few seasons, when they needed to play defense, they did it. If you can play defense, that's when you know it's game over.

I thought we were aggressive across the board defensively, and you could just see it grow. As the game went along, you could see the confidence grow. It showed in the fourth quarter.

Big plays are such a huge factor in the outcome of games. It is so difficult to go the distance on a defense.

Defense is a definite part of the game, and a great part of defense is learning to play it without fouling.

You got to get twenty-seven outs to win.
