It makes us angry but there's nothing we can do about it. The only positive is that Tucker is going to play golf and we're going to the playoffs. |
It says a lot about the players in this room, the organization. Going through all the injuries that we have this year, I don't think anybody could have predicted that we'd be here today at 104 points and 49 wins. |
It seems like we're digging deeper and deeper into a hole. Maybe we don't feel the urgency to produce. It's not something we can let go anymore. You can lose two or three, but not four, five going into the playoffs. |
It was definitely a big relief to get that lead again, to keep it and go all the way. |
It was tough. When something like that happens, you realize that hockey's a game, life is life, and that there are more important things in life than hockey. |
It wasn't very hard. It was just to keep the timing and make sure we're ready to go. |
It went from being one of the loudest buildings to being very quiet. |
It's a relief to know exactly what's going on. |
It's a win for us. That's what matters the most. Lately they've been tough to come by. Even though we blew the lead, the win feels good. |
It's definitely shocking what's been thrown out there. He was an example on and off the ice when I was there. I learned a lot from him how to handle myself around the dressing room and on the ice. |
It's just frustration. We don't know where to go anymore. We don't know what is a penalty, and what's not. We're trying to bang some rebounds in, just going to the net. I paid the price for trying to score a little too hard. |
It's just the same. It's just not going away. It's not improving. It hasn't been worse than it was since the Pittsburgh game, but it's not getting better, either, so that's the frustrating side. |
It's my first time walking normally. The first few days it was just kind of bent over, walking slowly. |
It's not about one or two lines or one or two players on this team. There's something special here. |
It's not going to be easy, but it's great for the fans. We get to see the Leafs, Canadiens, Bruins and Senators more often. It's better for travelling as well. There's a lot of positives, but emotion will be a big factor. |
