From where we were before this game to after this game, there are a lot of positives. The team battled hard. We have to build off of that.

I don't think it's far away from us. Even right now, it's not far away from us.

I don't think I've ever heard Rammer raise his voice.

Give the Leafs credit. They waited for us to turn it over. The guys understood how to get it done when you're down.
If it hadn't been for Burke, we would have been embarrassed. We should be embarrassed.

chance feeling gets great minutes next played situation time trying
He's got to go down and play. The next time he gets a chance here, and it could be this year, you have to come in with the mind-set that you need to try to make a difference. I don't think he played badly, I just don't think it was a situation where he was trying to make a difference. He was just kind of feeling his way through it a little bit. And the minutes he was getting, it doesn't give him a great opportunity.

He made a mistake and chased the money. And he missed a chance at a Stanley Cup.
bit break gets hockey last needs quarter team type
He needs to be a big part of the team as we go into the last quarter of the season. The way he plays, that's the type of hockey we are going to have to play, the battles. If he gets recharged a little bit during the break I think he will be a big part of the club.
craziest games goals involved seen
This was one of the craziest games I've ever been involved with. There were more fluky goals than I've ever seen in my life.
