I was lucky again, and you have to be lucky in this tournament. It was good to score because you never know what will happen in the final three minutes.
We don't score many goals. Of course, I'm frustrated. Who wouldn't be? You don't want to lose three straight at home. And you've got a tough schedule coming up to. I'm more upset than frustrated.
On special teams, we weren't very sharp. They scored three goals on the power play and we didn't have any. Five on five, we can play with anybody, we know that. I don't think we're a worse team than them. Maybe less talented, but worse? No way.
You can't look at the big picture. By losing three straight you can't say, 'Let's win four.' We didn't play good the last 10 games of the season. We're just lucky we had enough points to make (the playoffs).
Any win is a good win, especially when you lose three straight at home. I was a little scared. In every game, we had a lead or were tied in the third period and just blew it. Three straight games. Mistakes after mistakes. We had to stop doing that.
I'm taking the blame. Our line should score more, that's for sure. When we were winning we were able to score two, three goals a game. Our line has to find a way. When you take those two goals away, you're losing by a goal.
He's scared to go back again, that's why he's playing good. They told him if he goes three games without a goal, they're going to send him back.
They won the game for us, that's for sure. They had three or four power plays, then five-on-three. The one thing is they don't score, plus they were using their top players and getting frustrated, too.
I think the whole league has changed. There are a lot of guys changing teams. It's going to be a different league than ever before.
It is awfully exhausting and devastating. This is sport and sometimes it simply does not work.
I think there's a difference between Ottawa and the Islanders right now.
I thought we were dominating from the first shift. Even when the score was tied after the first period, we were in their zone and we had a lot of scoring chances.
I thought we were dominating from the first shift.
I saw a lot of pictures but I don't understand it.
