When he’s on, he’s the most dominant player in the league.

I don’t think we care.

I think that’s the ultimate individual honor. If you’re lucky enough to stay with one team, that’s awesome.

He didn’t have to say that. We all knew what the score was. We all knew what was still on the line and every one of us tried to encourage each other here. Let’s give...

No matter what happens in these games, power plays play a big part and we haven’t been sharp at it. We worked really hard tonight. There was no one that didn’t try. It’s just that...

Everybody is just playing the right way right now.

I don’t know if I ever said that to myself. There were a couple of times that I felt OK and then all of a sudden I started feeling like (garbage).

Everyone is doing their job right now. We’re doing the things we have to do and we’re playing good hockey. We’re feeling good about ourselves.

When they call, I have to talk to them about what their plans are — if they call.

You’ve got to give the man credit. (He stepped) into a position he hasn’t been used to, he wasn’t in for quite a while, obviously not at this level, at the NHL level.

We’ve got to change it up and try to get the scoring touch again. They felt they needed to spread it out a bit and maybe change things up and that’s fine.

It helps to start a game like that on the road.

We were warned before the game that they are going to keep calling the penalties the way they did in the regular season. This was more emotional today because we know what’s on the line.

A lot of people just wrote us off before the New Year. Even after the slide we had. You look a month, month and a half back, you won’t see too many people who said...

The most important thing is your health. I’ve been feeling pretty good the last four or five games. If I can play here I’m sure I can play there. I’m just happy to be part...

It’s gonna be special. We’re finally going to have a full building, because there’ll be a lot of Rangers fans there, too. We’re excited to be going against one of the best players in the...

We know what happened … when they knocked us out. There is always a rivalry against these guys. It’s going to be special.

We have to. We need to. He’s a big man, great guy, has great hands, great shot, everything. So, we need him to help out offensively.

We’ve been in this situation how many times and we know that the fourth win is the toughest.

Leave him alone. He’s got a good chance, though.

The mentality of this team is always to be in the playoffs. We don’t expect anything else or accept anything else.

It says a lot about our hockey team. We can play against anybody.

We had a lot of [power-play] opportunities. But on a couple of goals we got some bounces. It was a good start for us.

We don’t want to pinch ourselves now. We’re feeling good about the game we have been playing. We know the series we played, they had a couple of injured guys but that doesn’t take anything...

It’s not like I’m not trying. It’s not like I’m not working hard. They’re just not going in.

The fourth win is the toughest. We just have to keep going the way we’ve been going.

I got a pretty good check on that guy, and he lost control of the puck.

The most important thing is to focus on our game and that’s all.

I was afraid of him. Here (I) was a 175-pound guy coming here. Here’s this guy, 222 or 225 pounds, with paws like a bear.

We had a lot of opportunities. We would’ve been in trouble if we couldn’t score on those chances. It was just one of those nights where everything went in for us.

We didn’t do a good job defensively tonight. We were always missing by half a second.

It always takes a little time to adjust and get something going. We didn’t play badly and give up chances and that’s fine, but offensively we didn’t have anything going.

It’s going to be an issue obviously. It’s going to be on my mind when the time is right. Not right now. I am just happy that I can play.

They’re in a difficult situation; it takes awhile to turn it around. After the new year we’re 7-0. And the last couple of games, we haven’t played our best games but we’ve found a way...

It is very good to go into the playoffs feeling good about ourselves.

It was just a feeling that you could score any time you have the puck. He works hard, and he’s getting rewarded for that.

We knew the power play was going to be a big factor. We had a lot of opportunities and we like the way it ended up.

The one Florida trip, we were just too tired. In Toronto, we had a bad start.

This is an unacceptable loss for us. We had the game in our hands and we lost it. We lost a very important point.

I have been here my whole career. I have accomplished something here and proved myself in a good position. I have worked hard and gotten an opportunity to succeed, so I’m just happy for that....

You guys know it always takes me a couple months before I get it going anyway in a season. I should be ready for the playoffs.

We’ve got to win one game and we’ll see. Obviously, it would help to start at home, no question.

[Czech team officials] told me they needed to know, that I needed to make a decision that day. I was sore and wasn’t even thinking about playing. After five to six days now, I know...

We were underrated all year. There was a game against Atlanta (March 23), where we were winning 4-1, lost (6-5) in overtime. That was a turning point. If we lost (composure after that) we go...

We tried to frustrate them and we did, you could see it in their faces. But it’s just one game, we have to get ready for another one (Monday).

We’ve got to keep believing in us. We know that if we play our game we can be successful.

Listen, I’ve been here my whole career. I’ve accomplished something here. I put myself in a good position. I worked hard for where I’m at. They’ve given me an opportunity to succeed, so I’m happy...

It helps that they’re going well. We were making good plays, spreading the ice pretty well. I didn’t want to hold back. I told the coaches that when I come back I want to play,...

I don’t know about any of that. After New Year’s, we’ve shown that we can beat anybody. It’s just a matter of putting it together the right way.

I don’t see that as realistic.
