"I don't know if I can come up with enough intelligent words to describe Drew MacIntyre. The confidence he has instilled in the rest of the team is unbelievable. If there is a goalie outside the National Hockey League that is playing as well as him, I'd pay good money to see him."

"I'd like to see a little more consistency out of Scooter and Kenny. If they play like they did earlier in the year, they can take us a long way."
