NHL STANLEY CUP FINALS: CAPITALS v RED WINGS

June 11, 1998

Brendan Shanahan

BRENDAN SHANAHAN: When you are on this team, you really don't. There is a lot of guys throwing the puck to the net. We just say let's keep throwing it to the net. I am sure Mrs. Draper had Draper. (LAUGHTER)

BRENDAN SHANAHAN: I think it was more just -- you look at the way we played in the third period, there was a lot of determination (inaudible) guys blocking you and guys with sticks on you, it was a very determined effort. I recall Sergei three or four times just barreling down the wing and cutting into the net and Stevey as well. They are a great hockey them and they have got warriors. To get this far -- you don't get this far without warriors, big strong guys, we have to match that. Nobody has questioned the character and heart of our team, I don't think you can question theirs as well.
