Our team had a great season last year. But to be considered a great organization, you have to do it again and again. That's the difficult thing. To be considered a great organization, we still have some steps to go.

Philly is not going to intimidate us. No chance.
|
Real cute hockey team. We [stunk].

Remember Good is the Enemy of Great? This year, we need to say that Great is the Enemy of Excellent.

Right now, after the first (few) days of camp, our sixth defenseman is not here. We still have 21/2 weeks.
|
Right now, we just have to focus on winning one game to prolong (the series). I guess that's the best way to put it ... we just want to prolong it.

Robbie has fought it a bit. I think the [Olympic] break is going to help him a bit health-wise. I think after he got hurt and since he has come back, he hasn't been the same player. I just want to get him to the break. I think he's a little bit nicked up, and hopefully with a little rest he can come back and be ready.

Ryan Craig has shown us that he can kill penalties, and he has scored a couple of goals. He's good around the net. He's able to do the little things around the wall. He can play center. So he brings a lot of different things to us.

Sean has played well at a very important time of year. Johnny will get a start. If we can get the two of them going, it's a good problem to have.

Sean's played well here at a very important time of the year. Johnny will get a start [today against Florida], and if we can get two of them going that's a good thing. That's a good problem to have. Don't count out Johnny. Johnny's played good hockey here. But Burke has stepped up at a very important time of the year.

Some guys are trending upward, some guys are trending downward. We just haven't been able to get everybody going at the same time.
|
Still, our top two lines have to be our best lines. You can sense they're struggling, but they care. They know their roles. We just have to keep our edge and not give in.
|
Sure I am (concerned). We're in a tough situation here. I'm not going to sit here and (lie) to you.
|
That little (expletive). Let's face it, Marty was dead on tonight as far as his intensity and how he wanted to try to put the team on his back.
|
That little (extremely obscene word). He's been so much maligned this year. His heart was as big as the building.
