81 Quotes by Alain Vigneault

That's what happened there. The guy didn't do (his research), and he paid the price.

Without a doubt we expected to win that game. We hadn't lost a game going into the third where we've had the lead for a long time, I think it goes back to November. I don't know why we weren't as good in the third. It's tough to say, you'd have to ask the players. Mentally, we weren't as sharp. I don't know if they wanted it more than we did or if we were tired. We didn't generate anything offensively in the third at all. I don't think we had a (scoring) chance.

We've got some guys who aren't here and they've got some guys who aren't here who will be in the playoffs. I just want us to continue to play well. The guys are feeling good about themselves right now.

We generated zero chances in the first. Nothing. I believe we've got a better offensive team than we've shown the past two games here.

When you win, you feel good about yourselves. That's what the focus is going to be on these next couple games.

We played with the urgency and desperation that the situation demanded. We scored two and that was an improvement for us.

We played where we wanted to play and took a lot of their skill away by making the right decisions and finishing checks and being gritty in certain areas.

We played a really strong first period and it was 0-0. I don't know if we lost our legs because we definitely found them in the third. I'm not sure what it was. They outplayed us in the second period and that's where they won the game.

We left it totally up to the players. In Bolduc's case, he had just signed with us, so there wasn't really much sense for him (to go).
