Dany Heatley Quotations

I think they'll be pretty good to me. They were always good to me in the past.

Every country gets fired up to play us. They played well. I thought when it was 2-1 that we had some chances to make it 3, 4-1. He made some saves and we just missed some shots. They got a break on their second, and the third period I thought we had a lot of chances, he made some big saves. We got it done in the shootout.

Everybody is going through the same thing. The way the schedule is, it's tough down the stretch.

I wasn't putting too much emphasis on it (the booing). I think that you have to put it behind you.

The first game was different but tonight we were just worried about getting ourselves back on track. It's another loss. We've got to keep going, keep trying to get out of this and win on Saturday.

With the year off, I think most guys were excited to get going, but coming to Ottawa, a new place, made me even more excited.

When I signed in Ottawa two years ago, I felt it was to be an integral part of the team. Over the last two years and more recently over the past year, I feel my role was diminished. This past season, it diminished a lot more. “I would like the opportunity to go somewhere where I can play to the best of my capabilities and be the player that I can be.

I think we all want to prove something. We came here for one reason in training camp and the guys who have been here for a while and have not done what they wanted to do, definitely want to prove that we can (win).

We knew the scouting report on him and I did the exact same thing that they told us not to do. It's tough to get it up when you're reaching and you've got your arms extended, but I thought I could still sneak it in and he made a good save.

It was all excitement today. The fans were loud. We've got great fans who have supported me and have supported us through this whole thing. It was more excitement than anything at the start of the game.
