Every town loves a winner. This town in particular,

I think our group is closer. We have a lot better chemistry. I think we believe in each other.

They called the meeting, and then they wanted to get tougher. It was just a joke.

I like where my game is headed.

Oh, it’s unbelievable. On game nights, there’s something in the air. There’s a feeling and atmosphere going through the arena. As a player, you really feel it.

There’s no reason why we can’t score, too. And I think having that scoring depth would be a great thing for our team. This is why I play … this time of year … so...

I’m absolutely thrilled that Mike is coming back, … Besides the fact it instantly makes our lineup better, it’s the right thing that Mike Modano is a Star for the rest of his career. If...

He’s been unbelievable, truly unbelievable.

There are absolutely guys who are going to want to get things off of their chest, and that’s why we’re doing this. We have more than 700 people, and we’re not going to agree on...

We have to be better. We as players get the time out there, and we have to make it work. I think at times we just have to trust ourselves more and just make good...

People bet all the time in every aspect of life, and most of that is legal gambling. If you’re trying to say our sport has a problem with it, I don’t think it does.

We felt we were really ready for a long playoff run. We came out flat in this series and we are very disappointed. This franchise is built on winning in the playoffs and this is...

I truly believe there is going to be zero tolerance, … Can you imagine (Modano) coming through the neutral zone now? He probably gets hooked more than any player in the league.

We’re definitely going to have to pick up our play. Slovakia is going to be a much different team than Kazakhstan. Mentally we have to know that and get out there and give a better...

I know we gave our best, everybody gave a great effort but we didn’t put it together like we needed to. It’s one of those things you just don’t want to walk away from.

They’ve had a long year. I don’t know how I would have reacted to it, because we got a lot of calls.

You keep your heads up and you never know what will happen.

It ‘´s definitely an advantage. We ‘´ve got guys that have played together the last three or four years. A lot of teams really juggled their rosters, … The core of our team is back,...

Hopefully, it’s the beginning of a new era. You know, we aren’t the only guys to ever put this jersey on. … We’ve made a lot of steps, and hopefully the next generation will continue.

I think Brian has plenty of gas left in the tank. You can’t look at a guy’s age but what he does on the ice. Chris Chelios is 43, but he’s still a good player.

He just gets us all going. When you see him out there and he’s stirring things up, it gets you wanting to do the same thing. He’s one of our leaders out there.

It’s ridiculous how big this has gotten. It was never an excuse of how things went on the ice. I feel bad for Mike because his name is being dragged through the mud, and he...

With Bob behind the bench, their guys are going to play extremely hard for him.
