We knew,

If you guys didn’t mention it, I wouldn’t have known. I have a one-in-81 chance. Obviously, everyone would love to go, but it’s not possible.

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.

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...

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

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

(The Olympics) are not even on my mind,

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,

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.

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...

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

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

The pretty boys were working for us tonight.

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,

[Belfour] played awesome for us.

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...

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

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

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...

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.

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.

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.
