It's the kind of game you look at at the end of the season and that may be two points we could have had in the standings. All the work we did the last few games was great, but to play the way we played tonight and not put the effort into at least getting the chance to get those two points is not the right way to do it.
It's always fun when you got those lucky goals on your side.
It's going to be the biggest game of the year. The backs are to the wall right now, and if you're not ready for this one you're never going to be ready.
It?s going to be like that all season and we need to get used to it. Something that was natural to do before, I can?t do now.
It's fun what's going on right now. The puck keeps going in.
It's easy to play with him. I read him pretty good. I just need to get open and he's going to find me. That's a feeling you have to have to be successful.
It was a great effort by our team, ... We had the lead in Carolina and we found a way to lose that game a couple of nights ago. We were in the same situation tonight and I think we played a pretty strong game for 60 minutes. It was a huge win for us here in Ottawa.

I've known him since 2002, so I might get a call later tonight after the game.
It was a great win for us against one of the best teams right now. We need these points. Winning at home is huge for us. We haven't really had a good stretch at home the last few games.

It's really tough to know when you're ready to go back with those kinds of injuries. They're so deep inside. You feel good, but sometimes you need to make sure it's healed and it's ready to go.
That second goal was a great play by Simmer.
You can say that. They're built for the new NHL. They're not big, but they have a lot of speed. We have some speed, but we're more physical. We need to play the same way every game. They can be a physical team, too. The longer the series will go, the better chance we will have.
