After 14 months, you just get tired of talking about it. The bottom line is, we hate what happened and we're excited to be back. |
As a player, this is a challenging time in the season and you want to step up. |
As we all get older we look for transitions, find out if we like that side of the game, too. But it's good, it will keep him busy, keep his mind off what is wrong with him. It gives him something to do everyday. |
Buffalo is an offensively skilled team. They have a lot of people who can move the puck. They try to skate around teams. Their young goalie [Ryan Miller] is having a great year, and I think he's given them a lot of confidence. They play well in front of him. |
Every game has been so tight. It's a bounce here or there and we have been getting the bounce. |
Every guy's been on a road trip with their buddies, and the next thing you know you're betting what color car you're going to see next. We can't bet on hockey. That's grounds for getting kicked out of the league. Some club rules say you're not allowed to bet on any sports, but it's a dirty little secret everybody has. |
Every six months or so, it seems like we get a refresher course. It seems like every six months an athlete gets involved in a situation with gambling, and it's usually a bad situation. |
He was really awesome. He was the reason we were in the game. |
He's everything that the Philly fans can appreciate, ... He is everything that was advertised. He's doing it every night now. He's one of those gifted, gifted players. |

He's like a rock star back home. His every move is in the papers. It's crazy. He's huge. |
Hopefully, we've been ingrained enough throughout the season that we know what we can do and what we can't do. I think as players we expect it to be called the same way. |
I can't put my finger on it. We've done it every game. It's been one of our most pressing concerns. I don't know what it is. |
I don't know if it was nerves or what, knowing this was an elimination game. |
I don't know what the master plan was there but the change sure didn't last long. It was kind of comical. It's good to be back, I guess. |
