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.
“We’ve been working for this all year.”

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.”
“We’re really itching to get back at it.”
