NHL EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS: PENGUINS v DEVILS

May 14, 2001

Kevin Stevens

KEVIN STEVENS: Tomorrow is a big game. You know, you don't want to go back. It's not a must-win, but you don't want to go back to Pittsburgh with a 2-0 deficit and the third game is a definite must game. So right now it's important for us to go out there and play better than we did the other night, and hopefully, score some goals in the first period and then go from there. So we'll play better, but we expect the Devils to play better, too.

KEVIN STEVENS: They played a good defensive game. They didn't give up much, especially after the first period. They did a good job there. I don't think we skated as well as we can gait, but we'll be better come, but like I said, they will be better, too. It will be a dog fight. We have to generate some more offense.

KEVIN STEVENS: He's a great player, great offensive player. He helps their offense. But defensive, they are been playing pretty well the defensemen, so he comes back in and adds a little more speed, same type of player as Rafalski, so hopefully we can wear them down, get some pressure on them.
