BRYAN WILSON – 04.26.2023

SUTTER ON CHASING A CHAMPIONSHIP:

“That’s what you play for your whole life, your whole career, is to win a championship … We’ve got a great group here, a group that’s very close both on and off the ice. So, we’re looking forward to doing something special and trying to take it a day at a time.”

PHILLIPS ON FACING ABBOTSFORD:

“Very excited, we’ve been working for this all year. Abbotsford’s a really good team and we’ve had a lot of good battles against them, so it should be intense hockey right from the start.”

ON THE ATMOSPHERE AT HOME:

“Hopefully we’re going to have a pretty big crowd most nights and it’s something we’re looking forward to. We’ve played well at home all season, so it’s exciting.

DUEHR ON PLAYOFFS IN CALGARY:

“It will be a fun time. I think the Saddledome will have a real good atmosphere … We have a real special group with the Wranglers, so it will be a good run.”

JONES ON BATTLING THE CANUCKS:

“We had a pretty good war against them in our last three games of the year there … The guys are really itching to get games in. It’s a nice long break mentally and physically but we’re itching to get back at it.”

ON THE FOCUS …

“Our big focus is on us and what we do well. Obviously, we’re going to watch some stuff that they do well… they’re a good hockey team over there … We’re first place for a reason, we did things throughout the year to put us in that spot, so we know what we need to do to be successful.”

DESIMONE ON THE OPPOSITION:

“It’s a good hockey team, they’ve given us good tests all year long. We’re excited for the challenge, but it will be a tough one.”
