They're going to have to grow that identity with some younger players and some of the veteran guys that they brought in to fill that void. You know, the one thing obviously in Jersey is Marty is there. That's a huge reason why they've been successful for so long, as well. |
We all care about one thing and that's trying to win. I was in the same situation in Philly and there are always enough pucks, guys are playing their roles ... and they're going to be happy with whatever they get. |

We didn't quit and that's important. We are looking for a lot of positives right now. We've got to stay focused and positive and those were definitely positive signs. |
We don't play good hockey until we get behind for whatever reason. If we'd played like that early in games, we wouldn't get into trouble. |
We had an opportunity to win the hockey game in the third period and allowed two goals right in the slot. Good road teams don't let that happen. We have to get better at a lot of things right now and we will, but that's one thing we have to get stronger at. |
We have a lot of great young kids here and there will be a need for some veterans, some guys who have been through it and if I can help teach some of them some of what I've learned, that would be tremendous. |
We have to continue to play like that. Five on five we were still a better team. We just have to make sure we stay positive and stay focused and work on the things that are actually costing us games right now. |
We have to get better at it. That's one are where we really, really have to get better. Not enough desperation. Once we get that we'll make it a lot easier on ourselves. |
We have to learn from this, not just get excited. We have to learn from this and start something where we at least feel good about ourselves going into the (Olympic) break. |
We have to play better. We're at home. We should have a lot more energy. There was no enthusiasm, there was no excitement to play. |
We know it's a wonderful chance for us. |
We played a pretty decent game and to lose like that at the end is tough. But we got a point. Look at the positives and make sure we stay focused on the right things and move forward from this. |
We played hard (Saturday). Eventually, we're going to find ways to win. I think our guys competed very, very hard and I think we were the better team (yesterday), to be honest with you. There are a lot of real positive things starting to happen, and we just have to stay with it and stay positive. If we compete like this, we'll eventually turn this thing around. |
We were fortunate to get a point. |
