They have such a great hockey club, they get a win, they get on a roll. Nobody here wants that to happen.
If (the slump) keeps going, it will be a concern, but right now we're doing some good things offensively,
Any time you play them it's a great hockey game. There's a great history there and it's exciting.
It's one day in first, so we'll take it. It's great to be a part of this race.
I didn't do much. I was just trying to get a screen in there. He shot it, and it just went off my stick.
For me, on a personal note, it was really tough to see both Adam and Peter go. I'm really going to miss them.
This late in the season, with the standings the way they are, it's going to be a roller coaster. You win, you feel real good; when you lose, it's tough.
It was great, because there had been so much pressure on us to win. It's something you'll always remember, getting the medals and hearing the anthem.
Defensively, we have to shore things up, and that's what we're trying to do.
I just thought we looked tired and flat.
I wish he could be playing in Colorado with me.
They are not going to quit. They are going to fight, they are going to do whatever they can to get a win. There is no tomorrow if you don't win that game. That's what makes it real hard to win your fourth one.
There's no question we're going to be different. We're going to miss those guys, but I think we've done a good job in filling holes and getting a lot of depth with our club.
Ted is the right man for the job. He's the architect of the deal and he knows the CBA inside-out. I think this just a minority group of disgruntled players.
