They put Datsyuk and Zetterberg and Tomas Holmstrom out there with Nicklas Lidstrom and Brian Rafalski - that's probably the five best guys I've seen or played against in a long time

I'm not sure what's going on other than the obvious of just getting outscored and not doing enough ... My perspective is pretty simple. I'm out there just worrying about what I need to do. And it just hasn't been good enough for me. We're 0-3 so obviously I haven't been giving the team their best chance to win.

There’s a lot of experience in here ... We’re not getting caught up in the little things. We have a chance to eliminate a great hockey team. We have to get focused and be ready to play a great game Wednesday night.
said Kris Draper
His lowest level is really high ... He plays real good for us night-in and night-out. You know you can really trust him because he will play good offense and good defense for us every time he is out there.

It shows we have a lot of depth ... We have four lines that really can play in all situations. The longer the game goes, the more advantage for us it is.
said Henrik Zetterberg

We tried to clean up the execution but it wasn't there ... Breakdowns here and there you can't afford against those guys. You pretty much need to play a mistake-free game.

I don't feel I've given our guys enough of a chance to win ... But it's a seven-game series so we'll see what happens.

Datsyuk and Zetterberg were absolutely phenomenal ... They're good players and good players play when it counts.
