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...

It’s been really quiet. It’s been quiet throughout the whole league. I would have thought more would be done by now, but it’s definitely been quiet.

Our penalty-killing obviously has to get better.

It’s great we didn’t quit, but it sure would be nice to put ourselves in a different position. It’s obviously a nice sign when the guys aren’t quitting and still trying to do the right...

We don’t play good hockey until we get behind for whatever reason. If we’d played like that early in games, we wouldn’t get into trouble.

We have to learn from this, not just get excited. We have to learn from this and start something where we at least feel good about ourselves going into the (Olympic) break.

I don’t get sick talking about him because he is such a great kid. The respect he has for older players and the game is impressive.

You’d have thought we’d have been more rested after a nice day off [Tuesday]. You’d have thought we would have come out with a lot more energy. We just didn’t. I really have no answers...

They brought in some good people that are more interested in the winning aspect of the game. Obviously, everybody wants to play, but they’re going to do whatever it takes.

I think it’s going to be great for the game. It’s really going to be a fun thing.

It’s a great thing for both of them. It can help Mario, and it can help Sid. It’s a win-win. Sid is Mario 21 years ago. The two can feed off each other. Sid’s enthusiasm...

We all care about one thing and that’s trying to win. I was in the same situation in Philly and there are always enough pucks, guys are playing their roles.

They played better than us. Toronto was much better than us. … We weren’t as desperate as them.

I haven’t heard anything (about when he might return). I really don’t know. He’s been at games, and last week, he practiced. I know he’s been working out. I think he’s coming on our next...

He’s everything we expected. It’s great that he could come in and do a good job like this in his first month under all this pressure.

It might be a fear. You don’t want to get embarrassed, especially at home. It’s just something where the first one went in and we seemed to get a little life.

I thought we were turning the corner. We had a good stretch of games, and we’ve taken a little step backwards now. We have to find a way to get back again.

He’s going to be all right. He’s pretty smooth out there. It’s fun to watch him. His first couple of steps are incredible.

It’s inexcusable. The effort part is something that can be controlled, and it’s not there right now. It’s really, really, extremely frustrating for everybody.

One of the things we haven’t done very well this year is learning from our mistakes. Everybody makes them, but you have to learn from them. That’s what we did in our last two games,...

Dumb. I honestly don’t know if I could reach him, if I even wanted to punch him.

It’s something where we really have to learn from this and learn the feeling of what it took to win this game. We have so many young guys that this is a learning curve. Every...

We’re competing a little harder. And the guys who aren’t competing aren’t going to play.

He’s young. We all were like that. You’re not the type of goalie he is unless you are that competitive and have that drive to be the best. It’s a learning process to where you...

We had an opportunity to win the hockey game in the third period and allowed two goals right in the slot. Good road teams don’t let that happen. We have to get better at a...

I just want to make sure that, if our line was out there against him, we were in his face all the time.

We didn’t quit and that’s important. We are looking for a lot of positives right now. We’ve got to stay focused and positive and those were definitely positive signs.
