I don't think a player can ruin the image of a team,
bad everybody jump knows serious timing year
Everybody knows after a year off, timing is going to take a little while to come back. It's too bad for those guys, but they're serious guys. They're veterans. They'll jump right in and they'll be fine.
again blown buffalo experience gets played proved series tough
Experience gets you through tough times and that's one thing we've proved so far. After going down 2-0 in the series and getting blown out in Buffalo, we played really well here. But we need to do it all over again when we go to Buffalo on Sunday.

We all the know the moves they made and we're all excited about it. It's going to be a great year.

We all talked about it this (yesterday) morning, ... A 4-2 lead for the Senators going into the third? We all changed the channel. Now, it's 'don't touch that remote.'
decision feels good guy peter seen sure until
I still haven't seen the doctor. Right now it feels good, but I want to make sure I see him first. I feel good enough to go, but it's a decision I don't want to make until I see the most important guy (Dr. Peter DeLuca).

Look around, there are a lot of new faces. But they are all good players.

Robert stopped it, but it hit my skate and went under. Right away the ref called it a goal.
excuse fine goal power score scoring seem stop third
I think it's going to get better, but that's no excuse. We were fine going into the third but couldn't seem to find a way to score the big goal and stop them scoring on the power play.

Hockey is important, but you have your life.
focus
You have to focus on the moment. There's no tomorrows.
confident good guys playing
We know we have the guys, good players, good veterans, good young guys playing really well. We're pretty confident with what we have. In the playoffs, you never know. We go in and feel decent, feel better about our game, anything can happen. That's what I believe. You never know.
