This is a guy who really cares and wants to do well. And because of that, sometimes you make a play that doesn't have to be made. |
This is by far the best event for players looking to get a lot of exposure and to prove they can compete with the best around. |
This is obviously a big trade for Carolina and I guess it shows that they are going for it. |
This is something he wants to do. It's something his family wants him to do. He's a big plus, obviously. It's a major crisis that happened in his life. He's a young man who's close to his family. He cares so much for this hockey team. I believe he'll come in and do his best. |
This was a big challenge for us and I thought we performed well. We had a strong team effort and we had some guys step up for us when we needed it. |
To have a second goalie who can play and win games, that's huge for a team. And to have a young guy do it is huge. He has the possibility of being the guy here for a long time, so for a guy like Ray to get a chance to develop is huge, and getting the confidence of the team is big, too. |
To have two guys score that many goals, I don't know if I've ever been around that type of thing. It is amazing and different, and doesn't happen very often. |
Tonight I thought as we got going we got frustrated. It was not a normal game, but still we got lots of chances to be in close. |
Two-on-ones really bother me. You don't get many odd-man rushes in the league any more. It's one of the areas we can be better at. |
Unless something happens, I see Mike Fisher having a better second half. At this stage, the way he's going, I think he's got a chance (at 30). Not to jinx him or anything, I just think it's a realistic number. |
Was he spectacular or what? ... That one on Ribeiro was incredible. |
Washington came out hard today and played very forcible, aggressive and really chased the puck. |
We did not have enough depth on the blue line that we could let him go for the waiver price, |
We didn't get any goals and that was the bottom line. They had a power play tonight and we didn't. That was really the difference in the game. |
We disagreed the puck was in the net, but they said they had it confirmed with an angle (that showed) the puck was in. |
