Life must go on. This is a tough loss for our team. He will be missed.

The perception has been sort of an ‘us-against-them’ mentality in the NHL for a long period of time. I think this addresses that perception, and builds the idea of a partnership.

Tomas is an extremely important and valuable part of our team, and his presence will be missed. Our thoughts and support are with him as he begins the recovery process, and we are confident that...

He had a lot of places to go. The fact [is] he chose Nashville, and I think in some regards that’s got to be somewhat of a stunner that he chose here instead of going...

We know what kind of a person and competitor he is. He will do everything in his power to get back on the ice.

It was his best season. Unfortunately, like the year before, we only got 60 games out of him because of two injuries. He was playing on a point-per-game pace during that 50-game stretch we were...

Some of the nervousness going into the season is the changes. Why are we a better team? We’re a better team because we made the playoffs in 2003-04. But is Danny Markov a good fit...

We knew what our biggest weakness was. It was something we had talked about going back to last year. We had no argument with the skill of our defense. It certainly is one of the...
