NHL STANLEY CUP FINALS: RED WINGS v FLYERS

May 30, 1997

Rod Brind'Amour

ROD BRIND-AMOUR: We were battling for first place all year, so, you can't get this guy on one line. Obviously, you have got to have a superstar. And we do. He has got to be playing really well. And, he is.

ROD BRIND-AMOUR: Yeah, even this year, he came into his own. I think just from getting the opportunity. He has always been there. He is a good player. He just never got the chance, I think. Now he is getting a lot of ice time and he has produced for us. Great to see. He deserves it.

ROD BRIND-AMOUR: Well, I think their depth. You can't relax. I think the other teams we have played, we will gear up on Lemieux and you will gear up on Jagr, then you had to gear up on Gretzky and Leetch, but you never had too much to worry about with the other guys as much. Now, I can't take a minute break.
