QUOTE TO NOTE
"We kind of had a little bit of a stumble in Games 4 and 5. The way we responded tonight is something everyone in this dressing room should be proud of. There was no panic, we were sure of ourselves. We felt if we played our structured system we were going to have an opportunity to win the game." -- Center Kris Draper.
