3 Quotes by Tony Granato

Our expectations here every year are to win the Stanley Cup. So if you don't, you don't feel like you've fulfilled that. It was disappointing, but being able to sit back now and give our guys a whole summer to heal and rest and get ready for next season, that's a positive that comes out of it. Yeah, it hurt bad losing to them, but it's something you have to deal with when it happens, and then you move on and try to become better because of it.

Everyone made a big deal about it, but I didn't understand how it couldn't work. I think it's just people trying to look at a situation and create something that's really nothing.

I'm surprised a lot of the guys didn't make it. But it's not an easy team to make and we already had three representatives, so I'm sure that played into it. If they were on different teams and they were having the years they are having, I'm sure they'd be on it. I'm sure they would love to be on it, but in the big picture I know what they are worried about and that's helping our team win.
