They had a power play five or six minutes in that really disrupted what we were trying to accomplish in the first period. In the second period, we were in the box five times I...

I hadn’t been close to the ice for a game in quite a while. It was a fun game to be a part of.

We’re playing about as good as we could, really. We’ve needed that kind of streak to give us a chance to be in the playoffs.

It was an important game and it could affect the outcome of the season.

Taking the point after being behind two goals is a pretty good result for us.

The Flyers have a lot of injuries right now, that’s for sure. But our team, if we move the puck well, can play with a lot of speed, whereas their team is big, but they’re...

He will be unavailable to our team for an undetermined period.

I don’t have any details. And if I did know anything, I’m not sure I would know how to explain it to you.

Right now, every time he plays, it’s like a challenge. He was well rested, he was ready and he needed to be because his counterpart in the other net was also sharp.

We have at certain points been able to get a thrust of play going toward their net with impact and longevity, not just here and there but for four, five and six minutes. But to...

Jose was a victim of an unfortunate accident, and we all feel for him.

I am the one with NHL head coaching experience and no one has followed this team as closely as I have since training camp. As of this point, I will take full responsibility as the...

We’ve been pretty clear with the players. When you’re ready to play, you have to play. If you’re not ready to play, you can’t play.

Ottawa, as they were in Ottawa, were really in control in the first period.

My story for the players has been getting away from eighth and focusing on seventh. We are not worried about the Bruins because they have other teams to jump ahead of before they get to...

It was a terrific game to be involved in and hopefully it was a great game for the fans. You could see that kind of determination in Florida right until the final buzzer.

We were playing against a good team. We have respect for them. We have to play as well as we can and for as many minutes as we can. We took a lead and had...

We’re playing better, there’s no doubt about that. [The 3-0 loss in January] wasn’t a performance we’re keeping highlight reels from.

That may change, but right now we’re at the time of the year when playing games, results and standings are what’s important.

The information is that he was improving, that his vision was clearing up. Blood was dispersing, but there were still parts inside his eye that the doctors could not see and that still needed time.

We have to push back so that we’re moving up the standings by putting points on the board, rather than the other direction.

I think we have some good players, but we have to get closer to our potential.

I haven’t really thought about it at this moment. We’ll make a decision on our lineup and we’ll let you know.

We saw the job was too big for one guy and (Huet) needed some help.

He doesn’t look like a player who wants to give up his position to anybody. You have to earn the confidence of your teammates and he has done that for a while.

We’re playing against a good team, and I don’t think we ever dropped our understanding of that or respect for their team. We know that they’re a good team and that we’re going to have...

We made one or two key mistakes that cost us. That’s the story of the game, because otherwise it was pretty even out there.

We didn’t foresee that 18 months later, he’d be our No. 1 goalie. We brought him here to be the back-up, but he has got to where he is through hard work.

One-goal games are easy to hide behind. One-goal games are two goals away from winning, and that’s a lot in the NHL.

Our power play hung in there. Even though we didn’t get the ultimate reward of a goal, we had possession time in the offensive zone, we had shots, we had scoring chances. If they’re working...

We’re hot, and it’s good that we are.

Well, I don’t think looking solely at our four games with them is really a good indicator. We’ll have to play like we’ve played in some of the stretches since the Olympic break. If we...

I think our team has to concentrate on how to test (Carolina goalie Cam Ward.). Lets’ raise the shot total, the scoring chance total and get rid of any lazy or soft play around him....

We gave Jose a three-year contract last summer with the idea that he was going to remain with us. Since then, things changed.

We’re not talking in terms of winning the series; we’re talking about taking each game one at a time.

Right now, we’re in a playoff position and if we get some points in our final game, we’re going to the playoffs. The other teams can’t say that.

Right now he seems so stable and consistent. Tonight he probably made eight, 10, 11, 12 difficult saves, but it’s hard to pick them out because he’s in position, he’s in position early and he’s...

We’d seen a different team during the season. But they captured their level of play again (once) they got a goalie in there that gave them the saves they needed. They made it a lot...

We were hoping it was going to be taken care of at this arbitration and it would disappear. When it came out in the public domain, the decision to release the information that it was...

Once we got down a couple of goals I think we went into shock and at that point, really the game tonight was over. Our team stumbled hard early in the game, and really by...

That power-play goal, the first goal we scored …. was a nice message for our team that we were in the game and skate with them.

I don’t think it’s reasonable for him to be skating and feeling the way he would need to for next Tuesday. But five or six days after that, which is a pretty big chunk of...

It’ll probably be a day or two before we know the timetable for him.

We’ll have to look to our reserves for help.

We’re happy to be playing and we skated right down to the wire to get into the playoffs.

I think he’s proven over a long period of time that he’s capable of that. We were able to access that part of his play.

Mike Ribeiro demonstrated during the 2003-04 season how much of a force he can be. His creativity, his passing skills and his vision make him one of the key components of our offence.

He skated again this morning and the next step is for him to join the team and be exposed to some rough-and-tumble play. I think that’s sooner rather than later.

Our team was stumbling and bumbling and we didn’t have a player really who was committed to doing what they needed to do.

It’s nice. But it’s just a piece of the bigger production that we’re in.
