52 Quotes by Steve Rucchin

I don't think there's any bigger goal than that one right there, up to this point. It was another highlight reel by our best player. And it just kind of shows the kind of character he has to just take charge like that.

He's one of the best players in the world. I don't care what team it is in the league, you lose a guy like that it's going to be difficult.

I came off the bench with a little bit of a late change. It was a fortunate bounce but if I wasn't coming off the bench I probably would've been a lot lower.

You can say it was a successful season. But to just get to this point is not satisfactory.

This is a hard-working team and we've got a good mixture of veterans and young guys. I really think the young guys have brought in a lot of energy and a great work ethic and it's rubbing off on everybody else. Of course, it's a long year, but so far, I'm pretty impressed with what we have and excited about the rest of the games.

You work so hard to get to this point and then shoot yourself in the foot like that, it's inexcusable. It really is. Guys were losing their composure out there and that obviously can't happen. I guess if there's any light on it, it happened in Game 1. That's going to be a quick lesson for us.

The goals we gave them were totally unacceptable. We need to make teams earn their goals. Our momentum went straight out the window.
