But he was limited to just two assi
john tortorella "He played really well in Game 7, He really didn’t have many bad games in the seven-game series with Washington. He didn’t finish. He certainly wasn’t totally on. But he’s very close, and I thought he played really well in Game 7. He’s playing, and I think he’s going to be a really big part of this as we enter into Boston."
Rick Nash "As long as we win, I’m going to be doing everything I can to try to help the team win. I felt it was getting better and better each game, but the most important thing is the team. That’s all I’m worried about."

And though Nash got the...
john tortorella "He’s grabbed a hold of it, I think he’s stepped in here to try and make a difference and he’s made some big plays for us. I’m not afraid to put him in a lot of different situations and a lot of different positions."
Derick Brassard "I was hoping they’d give him a chance because I was seeing all his talent in Columbus, but he wasn’t playing a lot, He’s got all the tools."

Like metal filings pulled to a magnet, Capitals forwards are congregating on Rick Nash.
Rick Nash "I'm getting a chance here and there but it's a matter of working for that space, If they're going to shrink the zone even more, then I have to work even harder. I feel like I'm trying to get other guys the puck. I'll keep trying to create my opportunities and score goals and keep them out of my own net, but it's coming."

Jeff Carter is on fire for the Kings.
Jeff Carter "We talked about going out in the first two minutes, on fresh ice, and getting a power-play goal, To be honest with you, we weren’t very sharp. We didn’t really get setup. But we just kind of got a little rush going and (Richards) made a good play to Kopie, and Kopie snapped it over to me and it was a gift. I just hit the net."
Justin Williams "Regardless of where we play, we haven’t played well in this building, We haven’t done enough to win hockey games in this building, and we’re coming in here to win one game. I know coach (Darryl) Sutter said that, and I’m going to reiterate it. We’re here to focus on tonight’s game, and try and build off our two wins."

Most NHL players readily praise teammates with typically clichéd answers, but Carl Hagelin’s comment about Rick Nash on March 12 was different.
Rick Nash "It’s what I signed up for,"
Henrik Lundqvist "I wish he’d get more chances, He’s probably one of the best shooters on this team. If he gets an opportunity, I’m pretty confident he’s going to put it in the net. That’s the truth. . . . When he gets a one-on-one with a goalie, I like the odds. He’s that good shooting the puck."

I’d say this was one of the strangest incidents I’ve seen in a long time, a disallowed goal by the Avs’ Chuck Kobasew that arguably cost the Columbus Blue Jackets the eighth and final playoff spot. The situation: Kobasew scored an apparent good goal in the second period to give the Avs a 2-1 lead [...]

Colin Fraser "Yeah, but he's an offensive guy, Even if he hasn't scored 100 goals since he's come here, there's still that threat of two lines that can score, versus putting all the pressure on our first line."
Jeff Carter "It's always good to have that experience. We have a lot of guys in this room that have had some success in the playoffs, a few Stanley Cups and some finals appearances. It always helps,"
