It was a great effort by our team, ... We had the lead in Carolina and we found a way to lose that game a couple of nights ago. We were in the same situation tonight and I think we played a pretty strong game for 60 minutes. It was a huge win for us here in Ottawa.

It was a great win for us against one of the best teams right now. We need these points. Winning at home is huge for us. We haven't really had a good stretch at home the last few games.

That second goal was a great play by Simmer.
This was the kind of game that you look back at the end of the season and the two points would have really helped in the standings. We had a great chance to get into first place. This is not acceptable.
You get a great feeling when you make a nice hit, or a nice play or a nice pass. But when you're the guy who puts the puck past that red line -- it's pretty much the best feeling you can have.
You don?t want to think about it, but it?s in the back of your mind. In the last two games I had some great chances. It was good to get this one tonight and now I can turn the page. It will be a lot easier to focus now.
He does a great job guarding low. We have to bring it up on him.
He played very well. He made some big saves, especially in the second period. I don't want to say we took the game over, but we played better in the second. We had a couple of great chances and he made big saves.
It's something you don't like to see. Hopefully the league is going to take care of it.
After they scored, we decided to play. It's playoff time. It's not acceptable for a team not to be ready to play. We need to find a way to get momentum right away.
I'm enjoying playing the game again. I'm having fun, getting chances every night and it's certainly fun playing next to a player like Peter.
I had no idea the puck was in. But when I went to talk to the referee, he said the puck was in. He said they called that one in from Toronto. I don?t know if that?s a new thing in the NHL, but it?s always fun when you?ve got those kinds of goals on your side.
