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...

They surprised us. It was a special game for them, and they played that way.

It was a great effort by our team, … I think we played a pretty strong game for 60 minutes. It was a huge win for us here in Ottawa.

It’s the best team we’ve faced.

It was a great win for us against one of the best teams right now. We need these points. Winning at home is huge for us. We haven’t really had a good stretch at home...

We all know it was bad. That was not a good effort.

In the second and third periods, we didn’t compete. It was pretty much one of the worst games we played this year.

It’s special when you face them [Ottawa] and we try to send a message. Both teams know if you want to win the Stanley Cup, we’re going to have to face each other. So every...

I’m enjoying playing the game again. I’m having fun, getting chances every night and it’s certainly fun playing next to a player like Peter.

A lot of the guys were going to bed early because there were guys who had slept on the plane and guys who hadn’t. I talked to a lot of guys (yesterday) who were able...

You can say that. They’re built for the new NHL. They’re not big, but they have a lot of speed. We have some speed, but we’re more physical. We need to play the same way...

It’s been a long stretch and lots of games, but we pulled it together and got some big wins.

It’s been great. It’s been a while since we had a chance to do this stuff. The last time was at the start of the year in Montreal. A couple days away, putting our minds...

After they scored, we decided to play. It’s playoff time. It’s not acceptable for a team not to be ready to play. We need to find a way to get momentum right away.

It’s a tough time right now we’re going through. We look like a tired team, but it’s not an excuse. We need to play through it.

You need to get a couple moves in your head. The move I did was the first move in my mind. I haven’t had much success in shootouts this year and I was a little...

It’s something you don’t like to see. Hopefully the league is going to take care of it.

We have not had one game where the entire team has been healthy. This is a chance to get some guys rest and get a few guys back after the break.

This is a sport we love. We play this game for a reason: it’s fun. We have our backs to the wall right now, but we don’t want to stop here. We want to keep...
