I am not trying to look for any records. I wanted to help this team make the playoffs. |
I believe we can be the best in the league right now. Why not? Anything is possible. |
I cannot hide behind the bench and wait for somebody else. I'm the highest-paid guy on the team. Who else is going to do it? That's my job. If I cannot do it, there's no reason to be here. I have to score goals for this team to win. |
I cannot really lift my arm or do anything. |
I did what I had to do. Play as hard as I can until the last minute. I knew we weren't going to win the hockey game ... It might be a long series. Every shift can mean a lot later on. |
I didn't get frustrated - it's a playoff game and I did what I had to do. We're losing, 5-1, and I wanted to play as hard as I can to the last minute. Whether it's smart or not, I don't know. I'm not going to question that.... I don't want to send anybody a message. That's the way I wanted to play. That's the way I'm going to play. |
I do not think it is soon. I think there is time to leave, at least I feel so. This is my feeling. |
I don't even think abut it, I don't even know. I know one thing, the more I'm going to score, the better chance the team has to win. |
I don't like teams where the general manager or coaches are separated, ... Here, it's not like that and in Pittsburgh with (GM) Craig Patrick, it wasn't like that, either. Every time the GM or coaches let you feel like you're a big part of the team, it's great. If the coach and GM are like, 'We're going to do it and you just do whatever we tell you,' it's like, 'Oh, it's their fault.' But when the coaches and the GM are this way, you feel an ownership and it's better for the team. You give more. |
I don't really care how we done it, we done it. |
I don't think I've seen a better player shoot the one-timer. It was a gift. |
I don't think they played their best. We as a team played a good hockey game. |
I don't think we were smart enough to win. They outsmarted us. |
I don't want to take anything away from them, but even when they scored those two goals, I think we had it under control. When they scored the second on us, we then just spent five minutes in their zone. |
I don't want to talk about any goals. My goal was to make the playoffs before the season. And I've been in many playoffs and you just never know. |
