We feel we have a better team. I've been here awhile and this is the most excited I've been. But we have to focus on making sure that we work hard and keep that going. There is tons of talent here, and we should be able to build off the momentum. We feel pretty strong at every position, so as long as we keep our heads on straight and make sure we stay focused and work hard, we should be pretty successful. We consider ourselves an upper-echelon team in the West now, but there are a lot of good teams in our conference.
More Quotes from Steve Rucchin:
It was pretty exceptional to watch. Something like that will be tough to match, but he works hard and is pretty focused. The playoffs are different than an 82-game regular season schedule. We know he'll be there for us this year, because he's the biggest part of our team. But hopefully people don't expect the same thing, because that would be pretty unreasonable.Steve Rucchin
Of course it's not the way you want to start. It was embarrassing. If this game doesn't fire us up, I don't know what will. Obviously, we know what went wrong. We went to the penalty box too much.

It's huge. Obviously he brings a lot of firepower back into the lineup. More importantly, he adds some heart and determination to the lineup. You never have enough guys like that.

I don't think it was so much what they did better (than Saturday night) as what we didn't do very well. It was just a bad game by us on all counts. It was the poorest of the year by far.

We're just not poised enough with the puck. We're not managing the puck well and we're not taking advantage of what they've giving us. Give credit to Carolina. There's a reason they're in first place.

Once again our special teams let us down. That's two games in a row and that's two losses.
