Any time you get tired, you start to break down. I don't think we're too much out of shape, but if we do get in shape, it definitely helps and it's one less thing you have to worry about happening. We were guilty of making some big mistakes and if you want to say that's because of conditioning, maybe, but at least this takes away that possibility and gives us a better chance to win.
It's probably mixed feelings (going into the break) because we have a little momentum and it would have been nice to try to carry it on. But I think we're all happy to finish it off like this. We can all go into the break feeling good about ourselves and know if we keep playing like this we have a lot to look forward to the rest of the season.
I just saw a little hole between the two D-men and I tried to hit it hard and break through and always try to make a move there,
It was a tough break for us, but I don't know if we deserved to win that one anyway. Jocelyn kept us in it. It's good to get one point out of it but at the same time I don't think we deserved to win.
It was a tough break for us but I don't know if we deserved to win the game anyway. We didn't play that well.
I want to play as soon as possible, ... You want to play but I don't pick and choose. It's not my job.
It's so amazing, it's hard to believe, ... I was just fortunate to get that shot. I got lucky with that shot.
Everything clicked. Everything was working together, and we did all the little things. We played with a lot of confidence.
This is what I'm here to do and I'm very excited, ... It's been busy, busier than normal with the lottery and the draft, so it's going to be nice to get into a routine and get on the ice every day. That's the fun part.
Points don't always tell the story, but it went well definitely, ... I'm being challenged to think faster and be more creative, especially with guys like this.
I'm not worried about coming in here and putting the pressure on myself to get four points every night and carry the team because I'm not going to do that,
Hockey's lost a great player and a great person. I don't think it will change anything for me, but this happening makes a lot of the younger guys realize what he meant to the team and the city. It makes you want to do things for the team and the city that he did, because the city has been unbelievable to us. It's just treated us great. We've got great fans here.
I don't feel like I'm where I need to be. For the most part, I was all right out there. I think I have some more energy I need to get.
He's been awesome. I think especially for the younger guys, it's been great having him show us the way. He's a great leader. We really hope he comes back. I think he's meant a lot to us, and he's been playing great hockey, too. So, we definitely hope to see him back. I'll try to talk to him and convince him.
