He wanted us to have the best system we could, and I think he never really approved of what we took.
He was a young guy from Montreal, like me. I idolized him because he came in (to the NHL) so young and he showed he could do the job. He made me see the possibility of doing it myself.
He didn't accomplish a miracle. He just put the pieces back together.
He is a tremendous hockey player so you've got to know if he is going to play or not. Regardless of him being there 100 percent or not there, it doesn't change the approach of our game.
He is Mr. New Jersey. Scotty was a great player who was known around the league, and established in All-Star games and this and that. Dano is pure New Jersey.
He lost the puck, which I think might have confused him. I certainly know it confused me.
He looks like he's not even trying out there and he just picks me apart every time, so it's definitely not a fun situation.
He missed it. (It went) low, hit my pad.
He missed it. He went low and it hit my pad.
We've been through a lot this year, so facing what's ahead I think everybody doesn't want to mess it up.
People like the glamour and the glamour with Scotty is his hits. That's what they remember. They don't want to talk about him taking the puck away from Jaromir Jagr with one hand or anything like that.
Some of the stuff he would tell us was really out of character.
My skate got caught and I twisted it. I heard it twist and I couldn't get up. All my body weight fell on it. I had to be really hurt to leave the game. We were still in the game at that point.
It has been talked about and written about so much that I couldn't help but think about it.
