I haven't thought about it really. I was looking to have a good year and that's still my goal. Right now, it's a little bit higher than I expected.
It's not supposed to be like that. But I think everybody knows that this game was maybe looking a little bit easier than Ottawa, New York and New Jersey. This may have been our toughest game this week. That's not right when you come in like that. It doesn't give respect to the other team and maybe that's what we did (Tuesday).
It's been great. It's been a while since we had a chance to do this stuff. The last time was at the start of the year in Montreal. A couple days away, putting our minds on the side and not thinking about hockey a little bit may be enough to help us rest mentally and it's something we needed right now.
Peter is very helpful when he is on the ice with me. Right now, he is not here, and I need to give a little bit more if I want a chance to score. Hopefully, he will be back here soon.
I think we were close before the lockout, and now, even though we have a bunch of new guys, we?re still close, if not closer to being a championship team.
We dominated the game in Buffalo because of the start. The start of the game is very important for us, especially with the type of team we have.
You always want to do something special when you're coming back.
I'm starting to feel better. ... I have to say, I think the three of us are starting to feel a little more energy.
I'm shocked. This is not the way we wanted to finish the season. You don't want to lose like that in front of your fans.
I talked to the doctor (Saturday) and it's (more) positive that I originally thought.
I would love to come back as early as possible.
That was not our team on the ice.
When you have everybody, it brings some confidence for the other lines. We had success with that (line) at the start of the year and hopefully it can help us win games the rest of the way.
Without saying what adjustments that we made, we played a lot harder than we did in the second game. I don't want to say we're back in the series, but we're close.
