You can’t judge a good start by the result. I don’t think, tonight, that we got a good start. We didn’t play the way we’re supposed to.

He creates a lot of turnovers the way he can chase the puck-carrier. But he’s got to chip in once in a while.

It’s not a major injury. It’s day to day. We’ll evaluate tomorrow. We’ll find out more.

For guys like him, it’s tough. He’s in and out of the lineup. We want him to be aggressive, we want him to create some offense. But at the same time, I understand that he’s...

He’s got good speed, he’s got a good shot and he’s a smart player on the ice.

We found a way. That’s a good thing, especially after the way we played at home. I think guys have a lot of things to prove to themselves and their teammates. We needed a strong...

Every time you’re coming down from a long road trip, that first game is always tough to play. We knew we were playing against a quality team. I thought our work ethic was there, and...

Marc-Andre Fleury was phenomenal. It could have been really ugly.

He’s playing well and he’s hungry.

It’s so great just to get to the Super Bowl and so great for the city. Pittsburgh is just a great city for sports. Things on the hockey side have been tough lately, but we’re...

Even strength, we were pretty good against this team.

There were times we could have put on the puck on the net a little bit more, but we were looking for the perfect play.

It’s always the same feeling when you lose (in a shootout). It’s like AAGH.

Another tough one to swallow.

Eventually I want to get back as head coach of an NHL team; that’s my goal. I’d rather be a head coach in the AHL than an assistant in the NHL.

He’s playing well. He’s hungry. He battled hard.

The good thing is, we didn’t quit. Hopefully, they’ll bring that third period to the next game.

We worked hard. We were aggressive. I really liked the way we played.

It’s probably the first time in my career that we’re trailing by five goals and I coach my team not changing anything because the work ethic is there. Our goalie was not good.

He played really well. He moved the puck, and he was solid defensively. He played like I was expecting.

I think we are in the right direction and it’s going to be positive, but I know they can play better. Eventually.

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

I’m not afraid to play him back to back. We’ll see how it goes (tonight) and then make a decision for the next day.

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...
