Pretty much every year that I've been involved in the NHL there's been some player that hasn't been in camp or some contract dispute. |

That was really disappointing. We had been effective on the power play in preseason so when we got those chances in the third period I was confident we'd do something. Then the rebound on their power play went right to him [Ryder] at the wrong time. |
That's one of the reasons I took a one-year deal here. If the Bruins decided the best thing for the organization was for me to go somewhere else, I would only have the rest of this year in a different organization. And then I could make a decision again next summer. It would be Mike's (O'Connell) call, just like it was (Rangers GM) Glen's (Sather) call in New York. |
The game was there to be won. We had three five-on-threes and didn't score. That can't happen. We had our chances, but we didn't put them in. Fifty shots against us shouldn't happen, either. |
The power play is based on results and not how many chances you get. We missed a chance to get points last night, so it magnified the importance of this game. |
They're two of the reasons that I came to this team, along with Thornton and Samsonov and (center Patrice) Bergeron. The young guys on the team are their best players and we need them back. |
To get to 1,000 (points) is nice, but it was a disappointing game. |
Tonight was a big difference from the preseason, ... Guys were letting players skate by instead of hooking them. |

We haven't won a game in the division yet, and that's something none of us is happy about. These are teams we play a lot and we want to get points up on them early. There's a lot of disappointment that we can't get it done. |
We look forward to playing at home, but this is a bad way to go home after a loss like this. |
We needed to be strong after we got the lead, but we let them back in it. We need to beat this team since we have eight games with them. We have some games left with Montreal, so we need to stay within striking distance. |
