SAY WHAT - 'A LOT OF PRIDE'

LUCIC ON TWO-GAME MINI-SERIES IN ST. LOUIS:

ON HOW THAT HELPS RECOVERY:

"After a game, you're rushing to get out of the rink, and rushing to get to the airport and rushing to get to the next city. Getting into a hotel whether it's 1, 2, 3 in the morning, it cuts that out. If you go about it the right way and obviously, if you're able to win games in mini-series' like this, you end up liking them and being in favour of them, so in saying all that, the most important thing is what you're going to do on the ice."

ON FACING THE BLUES:

"You look at the St. Louis Blues and they're a team with a lot of pride, a lot of guys that have played in a playoffs and a lot of guys that have won in the playoffs, so they want to do what they can to get themselves back in a playoff position and we want to do what we can to get points and move up the standings as well. That's just going to create two good games and two teams with a lot of pride and two teams with a lot to play far."

DUEHR ON POSSIBLY DRAWING IN TONIGHT:

"The coaching staff down with the Wranglers does a great job emulating the same systems and preaching the same terminology that they use up here. It's a pretty seamless transition. Just go over some stuff that they do a little different, but yeah, for the most part, it's a pretty easy transition."

SUTTER ON SHOT VOLUME:

"You can talk about it from a team standpoint and an individual standpoint all you want. When you have dominant players, then you have to take lots of shots. If you take it in history - and I've been through lots where you say, well, 'you're a shot-volume team.' Well, you're a shot-volume team if you don't have a lot of star, goal-scoring players. If you take, for example, the Calgary Flames last year, the three players that led the team in scoring, you look at their volume of shots and their quality of shots. They scored 40 goals. There's players that scored 30 or 35 or whatever it was, well, they had a high shooting percentage. That's why they scored 35. Doesn't matter how many shots they took.
"Most of the year, high-quality shots come from me to the light (on top of the camera in front of him). Right there. Either on a breakaway, an odd-man rush or a rebound. That player's getting that shot, doesn't matter how many you got. You can score three on 20 if one was a breakaway, one was an odd-man rush and one was just me and the goalie. Really, when they call them high-danger shots, that's what a high-danger shot is. It's the player and the goalie. It's not through the team."
