We did our job by winning our game. What are you going to do? They fought back. They’re the hottest team in the league and they showed they could fight to the end. They deserve...

They are playing very well right now, and we had a couple good challenges against Detroit and Colorado and this one is just as tough. They are a surprising team this year and they are...

I’ve known him since 2002, so I might get a call later tonight after the game.

It’s really tough to know when you’re ready to go back with those kinds of injuries. They’re so deep inside. You feel good, but sometimes you need to make sure it’s healed and it’s ready...

He’s the best player in the world. He’s amazing one-on-one. I just try to get open. I know at some point he will find me.

We’re still in first. We lost a couple games recently and they won their games so they got closer to us. It’s going to be a big game. We want to stay at the top.

He does a great job guarding low. We have to bring it up on him.

It looks like every night it is tougher and tougher to score goals, and you face the best line on the road.

I would love to come back as early as possible.

He was pretty good. We all felt bad — but we need to be positive.

It’s fun what’s going on right now. The puck keeps going in.

The rebound came right onto my stick. All I had to do was put it over Marty.

He played very well. He made some big saves, especially in the second period. I don’t want to say we took the game over, but we played better in the second. We had a couple...

We need to get as close as possible as soon as possible. That’s the challenge in front of us.

It would be an honor to be a captain in the future for this organization, but when you look around, there are different people having more experience than I do and have been there before....

I think we were close before the lockout, and now, even though we have a bunch of new guys, we?re still close, if not closer to being a championship team.

That second goal was a great play by Simmer.

I talked to the doctor (Saturday) and it’s (more) positive that I originally thought.

That was not our team on the ice.

I like the way the team’s playing right now. It’s tough, you go on the road and the games are tight, especially against New York, and we found a way to win a game on...

It’s the kind of game you look at at the end of the season and that may be two points we could have had in the standings. All the work we did the last few...

Some nights it’s like that. Some nights it’s mental. If a couple guys aren’t ready, that makes a big difference. In hockey, you need all 20 guys.

I don’t know what reason there is so early in the season to have that kind of break.

He’s one of the best guys I knew.

I’m shocked. This is not the way we wanted to finish the season. You don’t want to lose like that in front of your fans.

Peter is very helpful when he is on the ice with me. Right now, he is not here, and I need to give a little bit more if I want a chance to score. Hopefully,...

There’s nothing I can do right now but get healthy as soon as possible.

When we try to chase them that’s what they want. They want us to open that (four-man) box.

It’s pretty frustrating. That was a big point for us.

This was the kind of game that you look back at the end of the season and the two points would have really helped in the standings. We had a great chance to get into...

This game is a crucial one if we want to try to finish first. We have it in our hands. We have a chance to start at home. We have to show them we’re ready....

We all know that sometimes when you play, you feel like you’re slow and you get a slow start and that’s something that we can’t do in Toronto,

I’ve always believed that when you play here, the best thing to do is be honest and up front. You’ll never see me sneaking out the back door.

Sometimes, if we have a slow start, we panic a little bit. A lot of bad plays happen after that.

It’s tough news to take right now, especially with the start I have had and everything was going well. Right now, we’re going through so many injuries and my turn came.

That’s what we said after the game. It was important to get that win. It doesn’t matter how we did it. We could have played better than we did, but you know what. We’ll take...

Without saying what adjustments that we made, we played a lot harder than we did in the second game. I don’t want to say we’re back in the series, but we’re close.

We need to get back to what we were doing good. We need to figure out what we’re doing wrong.

We were all aware of that but we came flat with no energy.

It’s a tough way to lose a game. We had a lot of chances, but you’re not going to score with only one shot in the third period.

It’s a little surprising, but it’s early in the season. Hopefully that puck will still go in every night. I’m sure it’s going to be tough to do it.

We’re pretty excited and hopefully it’s going to click [again].

I think it would be surprising if my name was on it. It?s always the same guys. A guy on the third line who plays against the best lines every night. It?s tough to tell.

You always want to do something special when you’re coming back.

When you have everybody, it brings some confidence for the other lines. We had success with that (line) at the start of the year and hopefully it can help us win games the rest of...

It’s going to be the biggest game of the year. The backs are to the wall right now, and if you’re not ready for this one you’re never going to be ready.

You get a great feeling when you make a nice hit, or a nice play or a nice pass. But when you’re the guy who puts the puck past that red line — it’s pretty...

I’m starting to feel better. … I have to say, I think the three of us are starting to feel a little more energy.

I think it was our worst game defensively,

It was a great effort by our team, … We had the lead in Carolina and we found a way to lose that game a couple of nights ago. We were in the same situation...
