We’ve had a tough couple of weeks here. We needed a win here to get our confidence going. We can have fun over Christmas now.

Obviously it is a failure for everyone. It’s on all of us. I’m sure John (GM Ferguson) will figure out what needs to be done and tweak it as he sees necessary. But it’s a...

He’s the biggest thing that has happened to Canadian hockey, and for him to get his name trashed through mud is pretty sad. But he will come out clean on the other side.

He always does. Good players can do that, and he’s one of those guys.

The season is a failure. You only get so many opportunities to play for a Stanley Cup.

It’s going to be exciting. It’s certainly a bonus. I wasn’t expecting it. Obviously, everyone wants to go over there and play. With the chance to go over there, I’m a lot more excited. It’s...

I could always shoot it hard,

(The Olympics) are not even on my mind,

It has no bearing on what we do here. You feel for him, getting his name trashed.

There were a lot of comments and a lot of things were said, and the only thing I asked for was time to confer with my teammates on it, … But obviously a vote was...

We’ve got to do a better job on the power-play. Those are key situations and when we don’t produce we don’t win.

You have to score on those opportunities. We didn’t and it came back to haunt us.

That’s embarrassing. If he needs a foursome, he should call us. After all, he’ll never see the ice once the playoffs start.

Tonight we started fast, caught them flat and got a big lead and never looked back after that.

The right channels are being pursued now,

The pretty boys were working for us tonight.

Their power play got the job done and ours didn’t and that was the difference in the game.

I’m playing (tonight) and I was always planning to play (tonight), so it doesn’t change anything for me. My job is here to play for the Leafs. We have six or seven games left before...

[Belfour] played awesome for us.

Another one of our best players goes down and (Kilger) does a great job stepping up. It was a good win for everyone.

I can’t say yes and I can’t say no. I know my first choice would be to stay in Toronto.

I’m day-to-day. I’m not going to rush it.

But I work on it every day. I shoot one-timers after each and every practice.

There are lots of great players out there, and not in my wildest dreams did I think that I’d make it anyway, … It was a little disappointing — because of course I’d love to...

What can you say about a guy who is going through the worst time of his life and still takes time out to deliver the news first hand?

It’s not that bad, just a little glare because it’s a pretty bright rink.

Ninety per cent of the guys do (feel that way), I guess, so we’ll see. We’re having a secret vote and it’ll be a dead issue in a couple of days.

We have to stay out of the penalty box because they (Rangers) are deadly on the power play and Jagr is a big part of that.

I’m not going to jump off the bus quite yet,

I think we’ve got a pretty clean game here. I know for a fact (steroids) aren’t (prevalent) in our league.

We moved the puck around and got lucky. I got a clear shot.

We know we’ve got the offensive here. The problem is our play defensively. We get away from it sometimes.

It would have been nice to get their input.

When things aren’t going good, you don’t get the bounces. Things aren’t going great right now, and we have to tough it out.

It will be tough. Not many teams go out there and win too many games.

I was just trying to get out of the way and I just got lucky.

To tell you the truth, I’m sick of the whole thing.

I don’t really feel that stuff affects us whatsoever.

We had a terrible start, really came out flat in the first period, but we kept grinding away. Mats’ line took control in the third period.

We’re shooting a lot more,

We just wanted to play an ugly game.

We’re beating ourselves. Second goal, fourth goal, fifth goal, we had the puck every time. It’s nothing that can’t be fixed.

He was pretty cool. A lot of them didn’t grow up with hockey, but they might check it out now.

All I asked for was to have some time to confer with my teammates before casting a vote,

We (Leafs players) visit hospitals and schools back home, and you look forward to that experience.

I’ve now had an opportunity to speak to my teammates. We sat down last night, had a long conversation and we’ll make an educated vote on where our team stands and that’s how it should...

We played pretty well in the first but the two chances we gave them they happened to score, … We stayed patient and wound up tying it in the second.

Ninety percent of the guys do (feel that way), I guess, so we’ll see.

I don’t watch anything during the year. Don’t read the paper, don’t watch any sports news, nothing. I don’t need to hear anything.

Their power play is deadly. Jagr put on a clinic out there.
