"Hopefully it builds confidence in our room that these guys are beatable, They’re the defending Stanley Cup champions, but if we play our game, we can play right there with them. I think we had the adrenaline going and we just want to be sure that we match that and maybe even bring it up a notch because I know that they’re going to come out a little harder."

"It’s really important, Starting without the puck, you get out on a shift and you end up chasing around for the first 20 seconds. … it makes it tough. We’ve got a lot of great guys in the circle, and it’s one of the little things that becomes more important in the playoffs, late in games when it’s a tight game."

"I just think you watch a game, and is it really better than it was a year or two years ago? (Are) there less head shots? Certainly the playoffs this year has been a revelation that not much has changed. Guys are still targeting the head and really putting other players in danger and at risk for serious injury."

Certainly the playoffs this year has been a revelation that not much has changed. Guys are still targeting the head and really putting other players in danger and at risk for serious injury.

The San Jose Sharks entered the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs against the St. Louis Blues on (if you will forgive the pun) a positive note.
