I don't think we played the same way we did last week.

We're fighting for our lives. The last two or three weeks we've been able to win some games. Every point is huge for us.
finding game last lately points win
We'd like to have those two points now, but we won't look back. We've been finding a way to win lately and we've got another must-win game tonight. It's been the same story for the last two weeks.

I played the last five games (with the injury) and the doctor was saying I could take the last game off, but there was no reason.
few games gary last playing
I've been playing with Gary the last 20 games and things have been clicking. Gratton has been there a few games and it's been working really well.

It's definitely the last thing I wanted to have now, four days before the season starts, ... It's nothing major. ... I'm pretty confident it'll only be a few days.

The past couple years my name has popped up at the trade deadline, (and) I've been traded a couple of times already. I don't think about that. I just hope we get an agreement, get a deal done, and I can stay here.

Without him (Luongo), we wouldn't have any points tonight.

We started turning the puck over in the second period and it cost us. We gave them three or four goals.

This team is not going to quit. We are going to fight through and do everything possible to climb up.

This was the kind of game we used to lose. It feels good to pull it out.

We got a penalty every time we tried to take a puck off them. In the new NHL, special teams will win or lose you games. For a while it looked the other way around for us, but we bounced back.
building definitely fan feeling games ninth win
We've been building a fan base, so we definitely want to win games and at least be in that ninth place. That's still a possibility. The fans, and us as players, and the organization will have a better feeling going to the long summer.
guys older react team winning younger
Every winning team has experienced guys, and that's what we have now, ... It'll be interesting to see how the younger guys react with these older guys around.
