I’m more nervous than excited, actually. I felt okay the past couple of days, no pain, no problem. I feel good conditioning-wise and hockey-wise. It’s going to take awhile. I’m a little too quick for...

We’ve just got to win one game and we’ll see. That’s all.

I haven’t skated in almost two weeks, so I need to get back in shape a little bit.

Would we rather play a team with Jagr or without Jagr? Yeah. We’d rather play without Jagr.

I knew it was going to be for a couple of weeks and that’s what it’s been. I missed about 10 months before that. This was quick.

Nice. No question you want to score. You want to play the best you can play.

He was just huge. I was afraid of him. You had a 170-pound guy coming here and he was 220, 225 with these paws like a bear. I was pretty intimidated the first few years....

It was just the first period but it could’ve helped us. It could’ve changed the course of the game.

He doesn’t talk much on the bench. And he’s pretty positive. But then he’ll tell you privately, unless he needs to get the team going. Then he tells you in front of everybody.

It is day to day now.

We’re going to have to shadow someone else.

He was just huge. I was afraid of him. Here I was a 175-pound guy coming here and this guy is 220, 225 with paws like a bear. I was pretty intimidated.

We may be back together. Who knows? We may not be. The team is doing well right now.

We didn’t test him enough.

We figured out a little bit the last 11 games and the last few weeks that we like to play and what we have to do to be successful. We’ve just got to keep it...

I feel good enough to play. I don’t feel 100 percent.

We wanted to play real patient hockey. Obviously when you have the start like we had it helps. No question.

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.
