Famous quotes by Maxime Talbot:

"Sure, I mean to get a good start is really important. That's a tough rink. It's always fun to play there."

"This game, for me, is more stressful than my two Memorial Cups, my world junior and my first NHL game together. I don't know why. It's just going to be special."

"This game means everything. It means a lot. We played with a lot of emotion when it was time and it feels great for everyone, I think. Every game we can see progress. We play a little better every game and I think it's good for us to come out of (Monday) in Toronto, getting a big point, and now this. This is a huge win for us, and not only on the scoreboard. Emotionally, as a team, it's huge."

"He brings energy on every shift. That's the one thing you know you're always going to get from Colby -- energy. He never seems to take a shift off."

"It was awful the way we lost and the way we came out. I don't think anyone played a good game (yesterday)."

"We had great scoring chances and their goalie was great. Maybe we didn't have that edge today. But I have to finish those chances. This was the reason I was sent down (by Pittsburgh) to Wilkes-Barre. I had chances to tie the game, to win the game. I gotta do it."

"We're going to have a lot of fun. (The win) changes the atmosphere around the team, and that's what we need."

"Let's make it 4-2. With that team, they score and you're like, 'We're not even worried.' We know we have the team to come back. We know we have the players to score goals and stop goals. There was no doubt in my mind that this game belonged to us."
