A fluke. Pittsburgh was one of the few teams left. They had to take them.

It’s something I’d been looking forward to for a long time, playing a game at home. It’s a lot better playing in red and white. I’ve been under siege a few times at the other...

That was the best I’ve seen him play. When he plays like that, and they play stingy and they’re opportunistic and they wait for their best chances, it’s frustrating.

I don’t look forward to the day because I don’t like to see guys get traded that I like, or other guys. I didn’t want to get traded from the Islanders but then when I...

Piet said if I hurt it worse, it could be like two or three months. It’s a bad injury for a goalie. I know guys that have been out for a year.

We’re playing tight defensively right now and that’s what we want to maintain over the last little bit of games here. We want to continue keeping things simple, playing hard, and get on a roll...

I think he’s improved each and every month of the season. He’s adapted his game; he’s gotten smarter on the ice.

It was something I was looking forward to for a while, the chance to play at home. It was tough missing opening night, missing so many games with an injury. So now, about a month...

You knew it was going to happen sooner or later.

It’s frustrating playing those guys. They hang around every game and they’re playing real well right now. They play a real frustrating game.

We just came in and tried to play a simple road game and that’s what’s helped us be successful on the road this year. We’re doing the little things right and finding ways to win...

We did have our chances. It was a game of bounces, and we didn’t find one. I was surprised we lost.

I was just asking him how he was, and I said I was ready and he didn’t have to push it if he was injured, and that was it, really.

I hope (the pain) is gone after the Olympic break.

It’s one of those teams I enjoy playing. I don’t know if I know their tendencies but for whatever reason, I feel confident when I play them.

It seems as if we don’t turn it over as much on the road as we do at home. We’re real smart and we keep ourselves in every game.

She tells my wife what she wants, and she types it on the computer. Then they go in the mailbox outside. We open them and read the letter, and try to get them what they...

I just stayed out high [in the crease], too high for him to shoot it. Even if he would have gotten it higher, I think it would have went over the net.

I don’t know why. I’ve just always enjoyed playing in this building and playing against them. It’s just one of those things. I can’t pinpoint it other than I like playing against them.

He gives them a chance to win. (When) he plays like that, and they play stingy, they’re a tough team to beat.

He’s a good goalie. He’s fast and agile. He’s just been hurt this season. That set him back from playing in a lot of games.

They’ve hit rock bottom this year, but they’re going to be a lot under the salary cap this summer, so you have to expect them to go out and get a lot of players. Players...

What I’ve done in the past doesn’t mean anything. I still have something to prove. I want to be here. I want to stay here, and to do that I have to play well.

To have that many goalies is tough. You have to be cohesive with your defense. With seven or eight guys, you never know what will happen there night to night. I know that if I...

I expected to play more, but Manny’s been playing great. It’s a tough adjustment for me just to play however many games I play, but everybody has a role on the team and that’s all...

We’ve been playing solid in games that didn’t mean anything and tonight they came after us. We ran into penalty trouble in the second period. After that, we just tried to kill the clock.

We ran into a team that’s really good. Nowadays, when the playoffs start, there’s no underdogs.

I’ve got to find the second one. It went through two or three guys, and it just hit me in the side and went in.

It’s a shame. It’s such a good sports city and I remember playing during the playoffs and the rink was really loud. It’s a shame, you see games on television now and there’s hardly anybody...

Our last four games have been our best string of games in awhile. We’re playing a lot better.

Everybody else was going to make a big deal about it, but we just decided we weren’t going to get involved in that. We were just going to play. And whoever’s playing, the other guy...

I’ll practice hard and get ready to play when he tells me to play, and support Manny. More than ever, it’s more about the team than it ever has been.

They’re better than everyone thinks they are.

I’ve been working on things during practice, and it’s coming through in the games. I feel pretty good about the job I’m doing and the role I have. I have to stay ready when Manny...

You watch what’s been happening this first week, and the league is getting what it wanted. In the West (conference), I don’t think there’s a weak team out there. Just getting into the playoffs is...

He’s quiet, he doesn’t reveal if he’s nervous. He just goes and plays. If he plays the same way he has in the regular season, he’ll be fine. I think your game goes up to...

We played good considering how much we’ve played so much lately — three (games) in four (nights). We played solid in the third period and didn’t make it more interesting than it needed it to...

I just have to figure it out. I’ve never done it before. I look forward to getting back in there. I’m just trying to play good in practice, that’s all I can do really, just...

He doesn’t really talk about his accomplishments too much. He seems to be getting better and better for the playoffs.

Manny is going to play the majority of the games. But it would be nice to play a little more.

I just tweaked it. I don’t want to hurt it any worse and be out longer. It’s not that bad. I just don’t want to hurt it any worse and miss the rest of the...

We weathered the storm. We seemed to play better as the game went along.

I felt good from the start. Moving around early helped me.

They have nothing to lose.

Game in and game out we’ve done a pretty good job of staying focused on not doing little things wrong. It gets to a point where it seems the games roll into each other. We...

I think we’re all wondering how the game is going to be called, whether there is going to be a parade of players to the penalty box.

For me, it’s better to be out for a week or two weeks, than be out for three months. It doesn’t feel as bad as what they say, but I’ve never had a groin injury,...

I went from thinking I might get traded to thinking I was not getting traded to being traded. For the guys who might get traded, it’s like a roller-coaster day and you can’t do anything...

You need those games to get ready.

I’ve been in this role before. Nothing in this game stays forever. You have to adjust.
