I don't know what the reason is. We want to keep it going through six games and hopefully change the tide in the seventh. |
I don't know what to say. Everyone in the world was completely embarrassed by the game, by the effort, by the way we came out. I'm not telling you anything that isn't already obvious. We were out-everything-ed tonight. |
I don't know. I haven't had time to digest it. But we lost the home ice and that's going to be a huge factor. It's probably going to be a little harder. |
I don't think I even touched it, ... Unless they saw something I didn't feel, I can't say I touched it. |
I think it turns the screws a little bit. I mean, that's what you need. I think that's what we're going to need to do more, demand more of our games. Maybe it will be good for us to feel more pinned in the corner. |
I think it's a stretch to think I'll put up 50 goals like he did, ... But I'd like to see myself in a role where I'm counted on to score goals. |
I think we're all in shock right now. It's really weird right now. We're all taken aback and a little bit in shock because it was done. It was over. Give the Devils credit for coming back when the game was on the line. They're rolling. |
I was a fourth-line guy just going out there trying not to make mistakes. Sometimes you need some people believing in you and Joe (Thornton) became very demanding. It was career-saving stuff that happened in Boston and it allowed me to come to Philadelphia. |
I'm happy that we got off to a lead and our power play cashed in and you always want to play well against your old team. |
I'm not the caliber of player that they are, but I just seem to complement them well and I do some things for them to keep their offense going, ... I try to create room for them doing some of the work in the corners and trying to win pucks for them. It's been great for me personally. Joe had 101 points last year and Glen had 92, so I'm happy that their output hasn't suffered while playing with me. They've been able to do whatever they are going to do and kind of have me go along with them. |
I'm speechless, we're all in a little bit of shock right now. |
I'm speechless. I don't know, it's weird right now. I think we were all taken aback. |
If we're guilty of anything, it's not getting all our pucks on goal. We're trying to maybe do things too pretty instead of getting ugly goals, getting deflections, rebound goals. Not tic-tac-toe goals around the net. That's not where we're going to be successful. We've got to try and score more dirty goals. |
It changes the dynamics of the rest of the tournament. Finding a win, getting points. That being said, we haven't even played (Thursday's) game yet. |
It definitely changes the dynamics of the rest of the tournament as far as getting a win and finding some points. It turns the screws a little bit. That is what we need to do as well. We have to demand more out of our games against better countries. |
