Bouchard on a positive pre-season result against Vancouver tonight:
"Yeah, that was a big win for us," he said. "We just really wanted to finish off the exhibition (schedule) the right way and get ourselves ready for the first regular-season game. I thought that's what we did today."
"I feel pretty good about my game. I think the team should feel good about the way we're playing, so I think as long as we keep buying into the coaches are throwing at us, I think it's going to go well for us."
Bouchard on finally getting into real games beginning Wednesday against Vancouver:
"It was good to get the first few (pre-season) games in," he said. "By the end, it kind of felt like somewhat of a regular-season game. That's how intense the games were getting. I think that's going to help us a lot."
"I worked hard all summer, and almost everyone here worked hard all summer, so I think getting those extra minutes were helpful for me and it helped me really settle into the game."
Sceviour on the progression of his game over the preseason on a Professional Tryout:
"You know that the date is coming and the rosters have to be submitted soon, so you want to put a good foot forward in the last game," he said. "Obviously I would've liked to score a bit more, but I think I showed my versatility and ability to play the defensive side, penalty kill, and that type of thing. That's kind of what was going to keep me here. I don't think goalscoring was going to be the main focus of my preseason, and I think I did a pretty good job at showing that side of my game."
"I'm pretty hard on myself. I'd like to be perfect, but it's obviously not possible, especially in hockey, so it's not my decision (if I earn a contract). Whichever way it goes, I'm comfortable with how I played. I don't think I came in and was so bad that I wasted anyone's time. I gave it a shot and I put a good foot forward."
