“Obviously, it's not a good situation. Nobody wants to see [a work stoppage] happen, and it's always looming over in the corner that we may not be playing hockey. And that scares me more then anything else.”
“Obviously, you dream about this day. You don't know how you are going to feel. I feel excitement more than anything else, I feel excitement for what has happened to our club.”
“It's awesome. It took me 29 years [of hockey] to get here, and I'm so proud of our guys because we got a Game 7 at home because we worked hard all year long.”
“Our special teams have been [bad] to say the least. Our penalty kill has not been going very well [nine power-play goals allowed in four losses] and we have not been getting that big power-play goal when we need it. When we were on that [10-1-1] streak the power play was going. We need to get back to that.”
“Obviously I've been frustrated most of the year. I want to continue to try to do what I have to do to make this team win. They're going to need goals from me. I have to contribute. I have to get better.”
“It was weird, very weird. There was just no flow. We didn't play that bad, but we didn't take advantage of our chances either. We let them hang around and hang around and we end up with this.”
