Brian Gionta Playing Quotations

It's always good playing here. My brother is here watching the game and some buddies I went to college with were at the game, so it's always nice to catch up with old friends and come back to a place that was real important in my career.

He was playing above the crease. I faked a shot to freeze him and then made my move.

It's frustrating because we're playing well, we just need a couple bounces.

It was kind of a weird game from start to finish. It wasn't as sharp as we have been playing lately, but it's still two points.

We're playing well. We'd like to go out on high note and come back feeling good about ourselves.

We don't start the same way against those bottom teams. Against these top teams, we're playing them desperate right from the drop of the puck. We're playing down to other levels. We start out slow and let them take the game to us.

We've been playing well as of late but it's basically a playoff game against them and we came out and played well.

In the last few games. we've done a good job of playing with intensity, and playing desperate. That's what we need to do for the next nine games. When we sit back and let other teams take it to us, that's when we get in trouble.
