Quotables:
"We won because we have more good players than any other team." - Coach Jim Gregory.
"Too much quality and too much quantity…We've been in the finals now for five years, and the Marlies are so far ahead of the other four teams we've played that they have to be the greatest. There's nothing they can't do."
- Edmonton coach Buster Brayshaw.
