It was battle-tested victory for us in many ways. |
It's definitely exciting any time you get a chance to get back behind a bench. I couldn't ask for more. |
Jose made some big saves in the third to keep us in the game. |
Obviously, the second period was a real bad period for us, ... We were lucky to come out of that period still tied, thanks to Jose's work. |

One thing's for sure, he's a kid who knows how to listen. That's what he did all night. You don't need to draw this kid a picture. |
Price is showing things at 18 guys don't usually show until their second or third year as pros. |
Ribeiro, tonight, was great. Especially on the winning goal. |
Sometimes a change is the best thing for player and that might be the situation here. |
Sometimes you wonder if you need it to be a roller coaster-type of game. We got ourselves back in the game and somehow found a way to let it slip away. |
That episode is over, he's paid his dues, |
That goal really seemed to knock the wind out of us and you saw that in the third period. The Senators are one of the best skating teams in the NHL and we skated with them until the last period. We came out flat and they just took over from that point on. For a team that also played last night, they still had their legs tonight. Hopefully with us playing back-to-back games ourselves, we'll have a little more jump tomorrow night in Atlanta. |
That was uncharacteristic of him. For me, it's about him knowing we've turned the page on that and that we just want him to use his skills. |
The better they play, the more difficult it gets, ... But it's a nice problem to have. |
The rules change, a lot changes in hockey. I think we need to show respect to the players who wore those numbers. If that means guys today have bigger numbers, so be it. |
