We are trying to get better every game. We took a step by winning an important game against a big rival. |
We definitely have to keep an eye on Crosby a lot more. I thought we just played him like a regular player, and he showed us that we can't allow ourselves to do that. We have to play him tough and try to get him off his game. |
We definitely put ourselves in a better spot than before we started, but there's a lot of work to do still. |
We didn't give them our best game, that's for sure. We turned the puck over, made a lot of mistakes. (But) Rick played tremendous. He made the saves when he needed too. |
We didn't play the way we've been playing, but give them credit. They played well. They didn't take bad penalties. |
We don't always do it. When we make a big point of doing it, the success always comes. |
We got back to the old Devils that everyone wanted to change in hockey. |
We got back to the old Devils that everyone wanted to change in hockey. People said they didn't want these types of games anymore. Now we are doing it again, and I'm just hopeful we'll do it again when it counts. |
We got used to not having him around. We really have a sense of what it's going to be like without Scott Stevens. At the same time we're going to have to learn about life without Scott Niedermayer, too. It's two tough blows to take if Scott (Stevens) doesn't come back. |
We have no excuse to not get back to where we were at or even better. I think the competition will be greater from now on because of the stretch drive. Some teams are going to try to secure playoff spots. Some teams are going to try to get back in the mix. Some teams, like us, are trying to stay alive and move up with the big guys. |
We just have to move on and try to get better. |
We knew time was on our side when there were disappointing times. But we've turned it around and this was really rewarding. |
We made one mistake. We knew the players were on the ice and we made [a line] change and we got caught. These are the little things. In the last few games we lost leads and we were able to get points anyway. [Sunday] we paid the price for our mistakes. |
We were lucky getting out of here with one point. We had a chance to get a win. It's usually the first shooter on both sides that decides the shootouts. |
We'll be able to make a long pass because the red line is out, |
