[FIELDSET="QUOTES TO NOTE"]
When I was starting in the league, I learned from Dave Andreychuk. He was in his 22nd year and had never even been to the Stanley Cup Final until we won it.
He told me, ‘Never take any of it for granted.‘ He was living proof that it was not easy.

We never played our best in the 2012 ECF, and I think we figured we’d get another shot.
Well, I think as a group we appreciate it more now and have a better understanding of how tough it was to get back here.
We’re not going to take this opportunity for granted.
- Marc Staal
At the end of the day, Montreal is a great building to play in whether you’re the home team, and I can talk from experience, or you’re the visiting team.
Just like Madison Square Garden, you’re talking about great buildings, a lot of fun, and what we’re trying to do is basically what we’ve tried to do all year.
We’re going to prepare for a tough opponent, we’re going to come up with a plan and we’ll try to execute our plan.
Montreal, they’ve just beaten the best team in the NHL, so we’re going to have our hands full.
