We've had our struggles this year but we're going to do everything we can to make it in to the playoffs. I'm very proud of this group.
It sucks any time you lose points at this part of the season, it's devastating. We still think we have a chance to make it and we should be proud of the way we have played the past two weeks.
It's all positive at this point. There's no problems with my vision. It's going to come back. It's just a matter of time.
I think we made some progress tonight. If we can keep playing like we did tonight we can turn this thing around.
He's been playing great all year. He certainly deserved to be in the All-Star Game. He should've been there, but he didn't get a chance to go. He's certainly been one of our best players all year. I think he's proven the last few years that he's one of the best defensemen in the league and he certainly deserved to go this year.

He has learned a lot playing behind Eddie. He has learned a lot about preparing for games and being the kind of pro Eddie is. Eddie is still No. 1.
I'll start off with a visor and we'll see, I hope I can use it for the rest of the year, ... But obviously I'm going to need it to protect the eye at the start here for a few weeks anyways.
I'm very proud to be wearing the "C" for the Maple Leafs. It puts a smile on my face everyday
We were ready to play, there's no doubt about that. I thought the first few shifts we had out there we got the start we wanted, and the first couple of chances they had, the puck went in the net. Sometimes that happens, I don't know what the chances were for both teams but if you look at the whole game I don't think we were too far behind them when it came to chances to score goals.
I've probably played better games this season and come out with no points. Don't get me wrong, I played a good game, but the puck followed me wherever I went. I wish I could say that I said before the game that I would score four goals, but that kind of stuff just doesn't happen.
It would be nice for the last game of the season at least to have our full lineup.
I've been back and forth, traveling a lot, nothing too exciting. I played too much golf, I'm sick of that. . . . I missed playing hockey.
There's so much at stake for us. We have to make sure to help out and keep the puck out of our net. We've done that a lot better the last three games.
