“When I got traded to Boston, I thought it was tailor-made to my game the way this team exemplifies the heart and soul of what a hockey player should be made of. I was proud to come to this team and play hard for this team every night.”
— Gregory Campbell, with a pretty profound statement regarding his time as a Bruin, which began when he was traded to the spoked-B in 2010

“It’s a huge help, obviously. We’ve gotten better, a lot better, as the season has gone on. They’re not trying to play goalie, they’re just trying to be in the lane. All the other guys are taking care of their ice, keeping their head up, looking to guys behind them or in front of them. Dennis, for example, today, he blocked a lot of shots. Our D did a tremendous job during the playoffs doing that. I like that, as long as they block it and don’t let it go through, we’ll be all set.”
— Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask during his postgame press conference following the B’s 2-0 shutout of the Blackhawks, on how much he appreciates his teammates helping him out by getting into the shooting lanes
Dennis Seidenberg (seated next to him in the Player of the Game jacket during this interview), led with six blocked shots in the win, and has blocked 20 shots in the three games so far this series.
Overall, Johnny Boychuk’s 57 blocked shots lead the postseason. Seidenberg comes in next with 49, and Zdeno Chara is fourth with 38.
