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.
He does a great job guarding low. We have to bring it up on him.
A lot of players have different opinions about the way we've played, so sometimes you need to maybe bring what you think and take the best of it. That's something we had to do and I think there are a lot positives from what we talked about and we should see a difference on the ice tomorrow.
This game is a crucial one if we want to try to finish first. We have it in our hands. We have a chance to start at home. We have to show them we're ready. We're having a lot of success on the road against them. We're relaxed there. Maybe we need to bring some of that here.
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.
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.
When we try to chase them that's what they want. They want us to open that (four-man) box.
