69 Quotes by Claude Julien

Obviously, the second period was a real bad period for us, ... We were lucky to come out of that period still tied, thanks to Jose's work.

Ribeiro, tonight, was great. Especially on the winning goal.

One thing's for sure, he's a kid who knows how to listen. That's what he did all night. You don't need to draw this kid a picture.

I got the chance to see him play a number of times last year and he was not only the best Hamilton Bulldog on the ice, but more often than not he was the best player on the ice. He's a natural center, but we're very comfortable sliding him in on the wing as well. Chris is a really good two-way player who can play in almost any situation.

He made the big saves when he had to. He may have wanted a few of those shots back that got by him, but this was his first full NHL game. We were proud with his overall performance tonight.

He's day-to-day. We hope he'll be ready for our next game on Tuesday (against Phoenix).
