Jason Spezza People Quotations

I have full confidence in him. And I think he's proving to other people now that he can be the starting guy.

It doesn't bug us at all that people talk about us as a contender. We know we have a great team, and we know we have to go out and show it.

I'm stronger physically and I think stronger mentally, too. I'm bigger than people think because I'm not too physical normally. But, in the playoffs, you have to elevate your game. You play the same team so often, you'll get picked on if you don't.

It was a big goal and we were pretty excited. We battled hard for a great comeback. People had kind of quit on us in this game and we battled back to score and it was nice to get that. Too bad we didn't score in overtime.

It was nice to get the wins against the teams we're supposed to beat. What people don't realize is these guys are playing for their jobs. We took a night off against Florida and paid the price (in a 6-2 loss).

You guys will write what you want to write, people will say what they want to say. I can't control any of that. All I can control is how I play. I'm trying to be the best player I can be.
