"But Eddie's focus is his strength, and his ability to get beyond personal friendships goes way beyond this. His ability to focus on his own job is strong. When you've got two great teams going at it, you're going to have to have a performance where goaltenders start to steal you games. The evolution of playing this much hockey and the wear and tear, you have to win games where you get outplayed. And I think that's where Belfour's strength has been; he's been one of those guys who wins games outright, and maybe it's a game you don't deserve, but you get because of you're goalie." -Ken Hitchcock
