He's 19 points ahead of the next closest guy on our team. He's able to create things from nothing on offense.
He has so much on his plate, we don't worry about his schedule.
We have to stick together now. No one is going to feel sorry for us. We have to find ways to pull ourselves out of this.
We don't have any room to lose. Every loss for us is huge.
We played the whole game in our zone and we can't afford to do that. This is a challenge to each one of us in this room to be better.
Those are huge moments that I'll always remember. And I'll never forget the last game we played there before moving to Phoenix. It was the loudest building I've ever been in for a sporting event ever. I couldn't hear what my teammates were saying.
He's an emotional guy. You can get under his skin and think maybe you can throw off his game. I think it works the opposite. I think it fires him up more, and he's got that fire that's pretty intense.

That's no fun to miss the playoffs. The World Championships was great, but you want to play in the playoffs. That's why you play the 82 games, so to go home early is no fun. Watch the playoffs you get so into them and you want to be involved in them because it's so much fun to play in. To not be able to play in the postseason is really tough to take.

That's fine. We're fortunate we can all play with everybody and expect success. I haven't exactly been tearing it up, so however I can help is going to be what I do.
It's a big thing we've been preaching pucks and people to the net and we finally got one to go in,
