Jarome Iginla Good Quotations

We're around the same age. He's a good power forward. He's got good hands in front of the net. He scores his share of goals. He can get really hot too which is a good thing.

But we can improve. It was not a good road trip, but it's good to come home and start over with the home opener.

Goalies are good, Kipper was good on that play,

To come back in the third period, earn a point and clinch a playoff spot . . . there's some positives from tonight but it never feels good losing. They were a very hungry, very determined team tonight but we knew they would be.

Kipper was good on that one. I was trying to go five hole and he closed it down pretty good.

I think confidence it a big part of everybody's game. I think the last six games or so, I've just been feeling better and as a group, we've been creating more scoring chances, and it's good for everybody's confidence.

It feels really good in our locker-room. It's been a lot of tough games and we've played some really good teams,

It doesn't feel good losing two in shootouts. We just couldn't find that second goal in regulation tonight.

It doesn't feel good at all. We know we have to get better in a lot of ways. You look around our locker room and we know we have the talent and ability to score goals, but right now we're being a little tentative. We've got to relax and let our talent take care of it.

We'll learn and adjust from that game. Teams are too good around the league. You can't start like that.

We came out and had a good start, and were able to draw some penalties.

We've played a lot of games lately and it was good to get a win.

Everybody thinks about it a bit. You try not to. This year it seems a little bit quieter around our place, which is good with us.

These last six games, I've been feeling better and things are starting to roll. As a group, we're creating more scoring chances and it's good for everybody's confidence.

I've never been part of such a quick goal from the start of the period. I've seen it a few times by other teams watching on TV and stuff. Seeing it go in was definitely a good feeling.

Denis made a good save on that one in overtime. Obviously I probably should have chipped it up. It would have been nice to see that one go in.

They're a good team, they're fast and we knew they would be. We've got to match that and unfortunately we didn't.

It's the toughest loss by a thousand times. It's a very good season and I'm so proud of everybody but that hurts more than anything else I've been a part of.

It's always a shock, you never expect these things. All the guys, we wish them well. We know they're very good players and great teammates. It's part of hockey and we respect the players that are coming back in the trade.

It's going to bea great battle, no question. I'm really looking forward to it. Even though we weren't two of the top teams, they were always some pretty good battles. And I think this year we're going to be an improved team and Edmonton is going to be improved. Both are quick and both like to be physical. It's going to be great.

It's been a tough couple of days, but they showed up today and were upbeat and feeling good and that rubs off on all of us. We talked about that last night, we've got to relax. We're a very talented group, that's not in question, and we all want to work hard, that's not in question. It's just letting it go, just trusting it.

It's been a close series the whole way. We take the positives and get ready for Game 5. From our point of view, the third period was a good period for our club. Right to the end, we had some chances. You've got to give the Ducks credit.

It's personal, ... I want to be in the best shape I can, so I can have the best season. We do view it as a competition. It's fun. Once it's over, it's a pretty good feeling to look back and know the summer paid off. And with us being professional athletes, fitness is one thing was can control.

It was a pretty physical game and they probably had the edge there. In a one-goal game, they had the edge. They got the big goal late. It doesn't feel good on our part, that's for sure.

It was a different kind of game. Before we knew it we were up four, but it was a weird game ... they're a good team, they battled back and thankfully we found a way to win that one,

I'm very, very excited. Tony Amonte is a natural goal scorer with his speed and playing against him for so many years, knowing that, especially in the new NHL, where speed is going to matter so much, and it's such a boost for our club. And Darren McCarty, three Stanley Cups, and he's so hard to play against. You play against him and he can skate, he's physical and he can score goals. And these guys I've heard nothing but good things from other players. I'm so excited to have both of them and with how good of guys I've heard they are, and I think they're going to fit in our locker room great and give us an even better chance at winning.

I love playing here. There have been some growing pains over the years, and I want to be here for the good times, and I think they're coming; I really believe in what the ownership is doing and the commitment they've made and I'm very thankful for that and also with our teammates. It's amazing who we brought in and who we have.

This is my ninth year here and I think I missed one of these tournaments for the World Cup. You come back and see the guys -- it's great. You keep in touch by e-mail but it's kind of a nice buzz to hear the anticipation. It's a good time of the year.

You can see that's not as good as we can play or the type of game we want to play. We're going to work to improve it. It's as simple as that.
