I'm very, very excited. Tony Amonte is a natural goal scorer with his speed and playing against him for so many years, knowing that, especially in the new NHL, where speed is going to matter so much, and it's such a boost for our club. And Darren McCarty, three Stanley Cups, and he's so hard to play against. You play against him and he can skate, he's physical and he can score goals. And these guys I've heard nothing but good things from other players. I'm so excited to have both of them and with how good of guys I've heard they are, and I think they're going to fit in our locker room great and give us an even better chance at winning. |
I've never been part of such a quick goal from the start of the period. I've seen it a few times by other teams watching on TV and stuff. Seeing it go in was definitely a good feeling. |
In our last couple of games, we've just been a bit sloppier than what our game is and we've given up way too many goals. We've got to get back to doing what we do and that's winning the defensive battles. In the last couple of games, we've been losing those and everybody in our room knows it. That's where well have to start in order to get better. |
In playoffs, I think home-ice advantage is not as big as it is in the regular season. I think everybody's prepared. There are no tired legs or anything like that. |
In that area there's a lot to live up to -- what a machine Gelly was, |
In the third, we were a lot more determined hockey club. |
It awakens something you never even knew you had when you're that close - so we'll have to work at finding that chemistry again, |

It didn't happen tonight and now we go to Game 7. It's been back and forth the whole series. We go home and we're willing to do whatever it takes. |
It doesn't feel good at all. |
It doesn't feel good at all. We know we have to get better in a lot of ways. You look around our locker room and we know we have the talent and ability to score goals, but right now we're being a little tentative. We've got to relax and let our talent take care of it. |
It doesn't feel good losing two in shootouts. We just couldn't find that second goal in regulation tonight. |
It feels really good in our locker-room. It's been a lot of tough games and we've played some really good teams, |
It has a lot of implications in the division. We can be five up on Colorado with three games in hand or we can be three down, so it could be a big difference. |
It is frustrating because every player wants to contribute to their team's success and be a part of winning ... Hopefully I'll break out here against Edmonton. |
