First place is good for everybody. It's good for the owners, for the fans, for the players. It's always nice to play at home and not be traveling.
First off, it's going to be a different team than Pittsburgh was today. As long as we play the same way as we did today, we'll have a chance.
First of all, when I was making the decision, I never thought that Pittsburgh fans would want me back. Every time I played there, they were booing me every time I touched the puck. I didn't think it would be such a big deal that I didn't sign with Pittsburgh.
First, we have to make the playoffs. Any point right now is huge.
First we have to clinch the playoffs, and then the real excitement is going to come in the playoffs.
There's no doubt in my mind we're going to make the playoffs, ... I don't think this is a rebuilding year; no way.
Sometimes, things are very bad, but you keep fighting. I'm happy for him. He deserves it.
Sometimes it's too much and it's not good. I felt like there were too many superstars on one team.
Right now, ... there's a chance for everybody else and I don't think it's going to hurt us. I don't think it's a rebuilding, no way. I think we have a chance like everyone else does. There's no doubt in my mind we're going to make the playoffs.
After a tough streak like that, you're just hoping for something to happen.
Some people picked us for last in the NHL. I think they're very wrong.
Sometimes I feel better than other nights. Even if I don't feel very good during the game, I know there's other guys who can help me get through that game. That's why I don't put too much pressure on me.
During practice, it's not good, but it's OK. It's going to take a while. Of course, you're weaker. It's understandable. The body is concentrating to help you, so you don't get too much energy. The legs are tired.
I feel like our power play was doing the job. We scored a lot of goals on the power play.
