MONTREAL CANADIENS FORWARD ERIK COLE
On getting back to back wins…
I think the biggest thing is that, maybe it’s a good thing that we won last night and had to get right back on it again tonight and play, and not have a few days to pat ourselves on the back and think that things are just going to happen for us. So, we got off to a slow start tonight but worked our way back into the game, and it’s another big two points. But at the same time, you know, wins don’t matter unless you keep winning, so we’re just going to have to enjoy tonight, regroup, get some rest tomorrow, and be ready for a game on Saturday. It’s going to be a tilt.
On his goal…
Well, it was a bit of a 3 on 2 slash 3 on 3. They maybe over back checked a little bit on me. Davy [David Desharnais] was coming in behind me, made a good play over to Spacho [Jaroslav Spacek], it was just out of his reach, but he took a glance over his shoulder as he was heading to the puck on the wall, and I had yelled for it as it was going to him the first time, so he kind of glanced around and knew as to my whereabouts, and just turned around and fired a good shot right on the ice, and I was able to get a stick on it. And Darchy [Mathieu D’Arche] did a great job up front.
On playing in the Garden as a Hab…
No, it’s the old [Hartford] Whaler franchise so, it’s not, I think obviously there is the history and the rivalry here and everything but I didn’t feel like it was overbearing.
On fitting in in Montreal…
Yeah, it’s slowly getting there, for sure. It’s been almost a month now of the regular season so I feel like I’m gaining some confidence but still feel like I got more. And hopefully I will continue to get better.
On playing against Joe Corvo…
Yeah, I yapped him when he got me on that, I turned hard up the ice and he had a good stick position on me. And what can I say, he knows how to defend me because we are so close, but it’s a good situation for him here and I think it’s a real good fit for him. And I think that he can do some great things for this group.
