•After Game 5 against Colorado in the first round of the 1998 Playoffs Joseph kept a shutout and forced a Game 6 in the series: "This was never-say-die," Joseph said, "and everyone on this team lived by that motto. The guys up in front of me let me see the puck, and that's the most important thing for a goaltender. They directed rebounds and blocked some shots at key times. Nobody gave up anything." •Oilers coach Ron Low said his team was "counted out when we trailed 3-1 in the series. Very few teams have done what they accomplished." The difference, Low said, was Joseph. "In Game 5 Curtis Joseph became the real Curtis Joseph. You could see it and you could feel it." •After Game 3 against Dallas in the second round of the 1998 Playoffs Janne Niinimaa flipped the puck into the air and Benoit Hogue swatted it down and sent a shot past Curtis Joseph in overtime to win Game 3: "It was a good shot but I didn't pick it up quickly enough," Joseph said. "It's not like we got blown out or anything, the sun will come up tomorrow and we'll get ready for Wednesday. I haven't talked to Janne, but I'll tell him it's no big deal. He's playing great, maybe our best defensemen in the playoffs and he has no reason whatsoever to be down on himself."
