It’s tough to see that happen. He’s done so much for the game of hockey, so much for the city of Pittsburgh, keeping the Penguins here, doing everything he can possible to keep them here.

He’s a sponge right now. He’s just trying to take everything in, and that’s unbelievable for a young guy that’s had all the accolades he’s had up to this point. It’d be pretty easy for...

He was so excited, I thought he was going to give me a kiss out there.

He’s going to do some things that, obviously, some people can’t do.

When you get goaltending like that, you have to take advantage of it.

We were fortunate to get a point.

He’s got a lot going on in his life right now. And he obviously feels that this is the time.

It would have been 12-0, if not for him. The kid is incredible. He’s scary good.

Staal is one of the premier young players in this league. It’s fun working with him.

We played hard (Saturday). Eventually, we’re going to find ways to win. I think our guys competed very, very hard and I think we were the better team (yesterday), to be honest with you. There...

(Yesterday) was really the first day I saw him frustrated in practice. We’ll see how it goes the next couple games and if need be, the older guys, that’s part of our responsibility to see...

We’re finding ways to lose instead of win. (Monday), we didn’t have enough guys competing. When you play a team like this, you need everybody. We were much better the other night at home. We...

I’m not going in there to be the savior. I want to be a piece of a great hockey club. If I can be a little piece that can get it over the top, that’s...

You can tell he competes very hard and wants to be successful. Like Sid. I think that’s why these kids are that good. They really want to do well. They really want to compete. And...

Ray is a very smart player. Obviously he’s got great talent, and we’re hoping he’s able to come back and make a difference.

It was very exciting for us. I get one more crack at it. That’s what we play for. I just wanted a chance to get back there and raise it one more time.

We have a lot of great young kids here and there will be a need for some veterans, some guys who have been through it and if I can help teach some of them some...

We know it’s a wonderful chance for us.

It hasn’t been easy what he’s had to do. The team’s losing more and he’s trying to keep the team in Pittsburgh. It’s got to wear on you after a while.

It’s going to be a breath of fresh air for me. I just can’t wait to get there, lace them up and get in the lineup with these guys.

That seems to be the way it’s going for us. Five-on-five, we’re fine. Special units we aren’t. It was the difference (Wednesday in a 3-1 loss to the New York Rangers) and it was the...

He’s a very intelligent hockey player, No. 1, that’s his biggest thing. He made people better around him. He had a terrific competitive edge to him that kept him playing for a long time.

It’s been a new experience. I can’t stand the music in the dressing room any more, so I know I’m getting old.

It’s very similar. There are a lot of guys that can move the puck and a lot of high scorers that are very fast and it’s definitely a lot like that.

Hopefully, it’s a starting point. That’s what we have to look for right now. We’re getting better.

It doesn’t seem to have hurt him, has it? It’s pretty amazing, what he’s done. He’s obviously a terrific, terrific player.

You don’t want to let these guys down in the dressing room. You want to show them you’re worth whatever they gave up and help this team do whatever it takes to get to that...

We have to get better at it. That’s one are where we really, really have to get better. Not enough desperation. Once we get that we’ll make it a lot easier on ourselves.

We’re starting to figure it out. We’ve got a lot of new faces. We’ve got balance between young and old. And everybody’s trying to push in the right direction to find the right way to...

I don’t think they had 10 even-strength, 5-on-5 quality chances.

He’s very composed at what he does. He’s very focused and he knows what he has to do. He knows how to prepare for games. He’s very good at it, he doesn’t get sidetracked, he...

You could tell the first five minutes. For whatever reason, we couldn’t get going.

Sid was the best player on the ice.

It’s nice to get that out of the way. You want to make a good impression on your teammates and play well. And this was an important win for us.

He’s been a real good player for us and he really started to find his groove the last five or six games.

If we keep playing the way we are defensively, and competing, eventually it will turn our way. It has to.

I don’t have answers anymore. I’ve never been on a team like this. I really don’t understand.

It’s like ‘Groundhog Day’ half the time. We can take away that we showed a great deal of pride in the third and played hard and battled, but we did the same things that have...

(Crosby’s arrival) will really revitalize hockey in Pittsburgh, back to when I was fortunate enough to win back in ’91. It’s pretty awesome. We’ve got our season tickets going crazy … it’s been pretty exciting...

It was just one of those nights early on. It’s just hard. We kept battling and that’s the one great thing about our team right now. We definitely don’t quit. But we have to find...

Obviously, it helps you feel little bit better because you want to help the team and do the things you’re capable of doing. But obviously you want to get more wins. Right now my focus...

We have to play better. We’re at home. We should have a lot more energy. There was no enthusiasm, there was no excitement to play.

You hate to say it, but the kid really reminds you of Mario at that age. He’s big, can skate, can shoot and looks like he has something of an edge.

We have to continue to play like that. Five on five we were still a better team. We just have to make sure we stay positive and stay focused and work on the things that...

He’s been doing that forever. He’s their superstar.

We played a pretty decent game and to lose like that at the end is tough. But we got a point. Look at the positives and make sure we stay focused on the right things...

It’s been a great 20 years. We all should be so fortunate we had the opportunity to be around him.

I want to be a piece of the puzzle on a winning club.

None of us would have any idea about something like this, no, absolutely not. I was just as surprised as everybody else was and, you know, I think it was shock throughout the whole league,...

They’re going to have to grow that identity with some younger players and some of the veteran guys that they brought in to fill that void. You know, the one thing obviously in Jersey is...
