NHL WESTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: AVALANCHE v RED WINGS


May 27, 2002


Eric Messier


DETROIT, MICHIGAN: Game Five

Q. 25 blocked shots in the playoffs so far. Tell us about the first two periods.

ERIC MESSIER: First period we scored the first goal, and that's important. It's important to score the first goal, to get the momentum. The game is a bit more open now, and I think it's exciting for the fans. And it's exciting for the players too.

Q. Hinote and Keane and a couple of other guys stood up in the dressing room the other day and had something to say. What was it?

ERIC MESSIER: To play better, because we are kind of struggling in Game 3 in Denver when they won in overtime. And in the first two periods of Game 4, we didn't play that good. They talked to us a lot between the second and third period and then we became more focused. And we showed that when we're ready that we are tough to beat.
