Quotes by Scott Gomez
The league's changed, and maybe some of the Devils' wins aren't the way the Devils used to win. But we'll take it.
The crowd was rocking during the national anthem. It was a huge goal and it settled everyone down.
The goal is to win, so whatever helps the team out winning. If that's what needs to be done, that's what needs to be done.
All those guys put USA Hockey on the map in our generation. It's exciting to see the next generation of guys.
You've got to have luck on the power play. Sometimes it's going to go in, sometimes it's not.
A lot went on at the beginning of the year. Some nights, some guys were there, other nights they weren't. The way the league is now, you have to have every guy going, every line going, every night and putting the effort in.
If it happens, it happens. Personally, I'm not going to be looking at the scoreboard. That's where we got in trouble. We were so worried about catching teams, this and that, and next thing you know we're battling for the last playoff spot.
How can you beat that? It's great for hockey, it's great for this area, and we also beat one of the best teams in the league.
