POST-GAME QUOTES
John Tortorella on the last game of the season…
“We felt this coming for the past three weeks. We have been on a pretty good run but Carolina keeps on winning, Buffalo keeps on winning. It doesn’t surprise me at all that it takes 82. We will be ready to play game 82.”
Henrik Lundqvist on the next game vs. New Jersey…
“They are not in. They are going to do everything they can to spoil. They are going to do everything they can to not see us in the playoffs. Also, they want to end the season on a good note. It is going to be an exciting game, big game again like last year.”
Brandon Dubinsky on the last game of the season…
“Make sure we play the best game of the season – come together. We have to keep it tight in this room. For the guys that were here last year, remember and make sure that fuels the fire.”
