Quotes by Brian Elliott
You want to do so much for the team, but you just can't. You're just sitting in the stands. You can't even be on the bench helping the guys out. It's just tough to watch, but I know the guys are eager to get another chance this weekend. I'm confident that when I'm watching on TV, they'll be playing at the top of their game.
The guys count on you to be that wall and I think fortitude goes into that. You just want to exude that confidence so the guys can get the job done in front of you and they don't have to worry about anything else.
The guys did a good job blocking shots. Everybody was putting their bodies on the line.
The guys in front of me have been playing unreal lately just diving and blocking shots. They say in the dressing room they're organ donors.
The guys in front of me have been unreal lately. I can't say enough about the way we're playing defense right now.
The guys in front of me have been unreal lately. Just blocking shots, as we say in the locker room, organ donating. Everybody is just all out and you can't say enough about the guys in front of you.
These kinds of games are always though to play in. You know you're not going to get a lot of shots.
I don't think the true release has actually come. We won a game, but we don't even realize what we just did. This means so much to everybody; you just can't put it into words. Just saying it right now gets into your blood and your heart pumping. Seeing that trophy with those guys out there taking pictures, you couldn't write a better script for an ending.
But he taught that back in the day. We talk about things. If things aren't working out quite the way we want it to, then we talk. It might take some yelling, but you convince each other that this way is best or you compromise and hopefully come up with the best strategy as to how you're going to approach that save.
I guess you can speculate all you want. I'm just happy that the team pulled through.
