For him, it's definitely a black eye that's going to stay with him and it's unfortunate. It shouldn't be like that, but that's just the way it is. ... It's an unfortunate situation, but everybody is responsible for what they put in their body.
It's always s a big thing for me to get to 30 wins. I play so much, that if I stay healthy it should happen.
We have no excuse to not get back to where we were at or even better. I think the competition will be greater from now on because of the stretch drive. Some teams are going to try to secure playoff spots. Some teams are going to try to get back in the mix. Some teams, like us, are trying to stay alive and move up with the big guys.
I could have stayed in. It was my choice. When the team is struggling, why be in there for the sake of being there?
I'm real happy, very excited. It's a great opportunity for me to end my career here and stay close to my kids. That was my huge concern going forward with the new league.
We are trying to get better every game. We took a step by winning an important game against a big rival.
The rules are there and there is a lot more flow to the game. If we are able to play this way and not take a lot of penalties, you'll see this more and more from our team. It's not just me. All the guys are excited that we are able to shut down good teams.
I've played enough in the NHL to know most of these guys. Most of the time I know their tendencies. I've been lucky. I've been fortunate to make some saves and help us win some games.
It was tough to get going right away and I think you saw that. It (the Italian goal) was good for the fans and they got excited. But we knew it was just a matter of time before we would score.
These were big games for us. It's nice to see us dominate them.
These nights are going to happen. It's definitely disappointing to do that against a team like that, but that's the way it is.
The Senators are a team we are looking up at in the standings. They beat a lot of teams in our division. Any points we get against them is a plus.
It would have bothered me to see Ken Daneyko's number, or Scott Stevens' given out. But Nieder made his own choice to leave.
The worst thing for us was probably getting the early lead. We sat back after that, but in the end we held on and got a good performance out of our guys.
