He’s a leader of that team. He’s a great example for young players, with his work ethic. He makes a huge commitment to fitness. He makes a huge commitment to what it takes to become...

It was not his best game.

First of all, I don’t think he deserved a [hooking] penalty, and I don’t think he said anything. There’s no doubt those guys [officials] are really, really, really tough with him.

Every time they got a shot, it was a quality shot. It’s a tough game for the goalie to play. (Fleury) made some good saves and was there when we needed him.

We had a great start the first half of the game. We followed the plan really well. It’s a tough league to have a four-goal lead because sometimes you loose your concentration, and the other...

It’s tough to have a four-goal lead, sometimes, because you lose your concentration and the other team takes a lot of chances. They got a lot of shots. We wanted to keep them on the...

He’s aggressive. He finishes his checks and it’s going to be important for us to be physical against (the Rangers).

We’ll have some quality practice time. This year, the schedule is so compact with so many games in such a short period of time that will be nice to get to work on our system.

We were the best team on the ice (today), by far. We played a great game.

All the teams I’ve coached, we’ve always had the standings, to make the guys realize [their situation].

It’s nice to get a reward, seeing your team like we have been seeing here. They have been playing pretty hard, but they never get rewarded. Finally, tonight, there were a lot of guys who...

It’s up to him to decide when to make a comeback.

We deserve better. We played a good game. Lately, it’s like to win a game you need breaks, we don’t have breaks. You need some calls, we don’t have the calls. It’s tough to swallow.

Most of the penalties, they were not even scoring chances. Sometimes they were close to 200 feet away from our net. Those are bad penalties. We’re going to have to be smarter. If we want...

We like our unit of five against top players.

We took some bad penalties. This is something that we told our team, not to take bad penalties, and we took some bad penalties. Against a team like that, for sure it’s going to cost...

One thing, we don’t quit. Every shift we want to battle and play with a lot of pride.

We felt that we wanted him to play, to work on some stuff he needs to work on, to make plays and stuff like that.

I saw the game on TV when they played here, and Caron played really well that game. He almost stole the game. I wanted to give him a game before we go to the break...

If you look at [the Devils’] roster, their lineup, half of the team has won Stanley Cups. The last five minutes, their experience really took over.

It was good to see him on the ice. Hopefully he is strong enough to play (Saturday).

We’re going into the break onto a positive note and that was important. We weathered the storm in the first period. Marc-Andre was phenomenal in the first, he made some key saves. The power play...

I liked the way he played; that’s why we called him up. He played with confidence. We wish him the best in Atlanta.

This is not only for a weekend. It’s probably for the rest of the season, because we want to make sure of that when we make decisions.

He’s a player that in Canada, they love the way he plays and he got a lot of admiration last year when he went to the World Junior and won a gold medal for Team...

There are certain things a coaching staff can do. But it’s up to the players to be prepared. It’s part of their responsibility to come and be ready to play and ready to work. Tonight...

Sidney Crosby is an emotional guy. You don’t want to take that away. It’s part of his game.

We started playing in the second period. We started to execute our plan in the second period. When we’re doing what we’re supposed to do, we’re a tough team to play against.

We talk about the young players who dominate the game now, and he’s certainly one of them. He has good hockey sense, he skates real well. He’s a power forward who’s tough to contain.

We had a great start. We followed the plan really well. We did a lot of good things and finally we can build on the positive.

Anyone with good character wants to give it another shot.

I mentioned to the players after the first period that’s enough. (Guillaume) Lefebvre and (Shane) Endicott are having a hard time reading the play. But your best penalty killer should be your goalie. You need...

We made some bad decisions. When you don’t win, you’re tense. You probably don’t think the same way. You’re rushing things because the confidence is not there. We rushed some decisions. That was a big...

It’s not a matter of confidence. It’s a matter of trying.

He’s young. He just turned 21 three months ago. Yes, we want him to make the key save at the right time, and he’s doing that most of the time. There are going to be...

We want to go with him as much as we can, depending on the schedule.

That’s the kind of hockey we’re used to seeing from the Devils. They played a really good game.

We figured it should have been a five-minute major. But the referee didn’t call it. Turned out to be down the road the difference in the game, but there’s nothing we can do about it.

We wanted him to concentrate on his game. Take away all of the distractions. I’m more than happy for him and for our hockey team.

Yeah, I like what I saw from the way they played the last game and even the game before, when we made that move. This is something I had in my mind for two or...

The penalties cost the game. Usually the bad penalties cause goals, and we took some bad ones.

Marc-Andre was phenomenal, and we capitalized on our chances and did a lot of good things.

He came to see us after the second period and felt that he could try on the power play and we played him on the power play.

It was not a good penalty, for sure. A doubtful call. I don’t know.

Yeah, we played hard. We worked hard and played hard and I though we were the best team on the ice tonight, but we need breaks to win games. We didn’t have any breaks —...

He doesn’t go after people, running around. Sometimes a huge mistake with young kids is they try to make the big hit, but they get caught out of position.

We deserved to win. We stuck to the plan and we allowed only 17 shots, and I’m happy about the way we are playing.

We want to put the puck on net a little bit more. There were times we did it, there were times we could have done it more.

I believe that was a horrible call, but there’s nothing we can do. I don’t think it was a clear breakaway. I didn’t believe that. Interpretation is always different. It was a tough night. The...

I know how Colby’s capable of playing. Lately, his game is back to where it was last year, even if he got a slow start this season. The last month, he’s been playing really well,...
