I still see us as having a real strong lineup. Definitely the teams around us in our conference have improved but I don't think people should count us out yet.

I think Mike Babcock is really going to be good for our team. It's just what we needed at the right time.
|
I think our first period kind of killed us, ... We came out flat and they came out with a lot more jump than us, and that kind of set the tone for the whole game, that we were constantly playing catch-up.

I think the fact that referees are going to have consistent partners, and they're usually only going to work just one conference - they'll get more familiar with us and we'll get more familiar with them - we hope that improves your ability to predict what a referee will and will not call.

I think with the injuries he's had from his career, it's definitely frustrating for him. But he channels that frustration in a good way. He doesn't sulk about injuries. He just works harder.

I thought he played a solid game, especially considering he's been off for some time. It was nice to have him on the ice again.

I want all the members of the media to know that I finished sixth in the (team's season-long) football pool. And Dan Cleary finished ninth.

I was just trying to get a piece of the goalie and let it squeeze in, ... That's just kind of a hope play. You're lucky if it goes in.

I was surprised, but I knew he was having a bit of a tough adjustment here, ... But there are a lot of guys who decided to call it a career after the lockout. You can't blame a guy for trying to come back and being 100 percent sure.

I wouldn't call it a special milestone. It's nice, but it's kind of what I expect of myself. Once you get it, you want to get more.
|
I'm just trying to stay ahead of my age.
|
In a lot of ways we missed the game, but we did our best to take advantage of the time off.
|
In this league, you can never look past opponents. You'll get yourself into trouble. Start thinking about the future, it's going to mess up your present.

It definitely is going to test the depth. Hopefully these aren't serious injuries for these guys. Sometimes a little rest at this time of year can be a blessing in disguise for players like that. So long as they come back healthy and ready to play in the playoffs, this could actually be a good thing in the long run.
