carolina couple effort found game great huge lead lose nights played situation strong tonight win
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.

They are playing very well right now, and we had a couple good challenges against Detroit and Colorado and this one is just as tough. They are a surprising team this year and they are winning hockey games. We want to show them what we can do and get back to first place in the conference.
both finally good road teams tired win
A win on the road like this, we know it's never easy, especially here in Carolina. Both teams were tired after traveling. But I feel very good at the end when you finally get the two points.
against character found games overtime playing road shows team win
I like the way the team's playing right now. It's tough, you go on the road and the games are tight, especially against New York, and we found a way to win a game on the road in overtime again. It shows the character the team has.
couple goals played plus quick score start tried
We tried to start better and score a couple of quick goals, and it was a big plus when we did that. Overall, I think we played pretty well defensively.
best captain experience front future honor mind people persons reason
It would be an honor to be a captain in the future for this organization, but when you look around, there are different people having more experience than I do and have been there before. I had two persons in front of me. One was (Eric Desjardins) and the other was (Hatcher). Those were the two people in my mind that were the best people to have that job. That was one reason I was not comfortable with it.
Right now we don't have it. We need to find a way to get that back.
best days fun game hockey intense last laughing practice relaxed relaxing tight week
Practice was more relaxed. We need to be more relaxed. Last week was too intense. (Tuesday) we were relaxed and had more fun on the ice laughing and all that. Sometimes in hockey if you play too intense or too tight you don't play your best game. (Monday and Tuesday) were more relaxing days and I think that's going to show in our game (tonight).
believed best honest
I've always believed that when you play here, the best thing to do is be honest and up front. You'll never see me sneaking out the back door.
