“You think of this moment to come back with a chance to compete again for the Stanley Cup. And we are the two lucky teams who can do it. I mean that it is so difficult too, and very few players are able to have a chance, even if you would have asked both in the middle of the summer if we have a chance to play for the Stanley Cup again, we have to sign this document.”

“It is a revenge match, and there are a lot of similar faces, but there is fresh blood on both sides which will be very hungry and be manufacturers of difference in this series.”
