"It means a lot to our team. It's a confidence builder, [Colorado] is an excellent team. Their first line is tough to handle, but we found a way to do it and we held their power play in check (1-for-3). Next time we play them, I'm sure it'll be another big test." -- Blackhawks coach Jeremy Colliton
"They were picking us apart a little bit on the offensive side of it and I thought we were doing the same to them for a while. Lots of chances, both teams, which is not exactly how we want to play. We want to be dangerous offensively, but we've got to be better on the defensive side, both on the rush and in our zone." -- Avalanche coach Jared Bednar
