Dan Boyle Quotes (23 Quotes)

I want to get back out there, especially this time of year. This is where, unfortunately, if we had a nice cushion we could rest some guys. We didn't get it done earlier in the season, so ...

Some people are probably already counting us out, maybe not even picked us to make the playoffs next year, who knows. I think we need to tweak a few things here and there.

We just need to get that monkey off our back with these guys. It's been tough against these guys in the last little while. That's a huge win for us.
