Jason Spezza Team Quotations

We're going to snap out of it. It's not something we're in for the long haul. We've just got too good a hockey team here.

I think with the talent we have, we knew we were a deep team, we knew we were a favorite coming into the year, we had high expectations for ourselves and we still do. We expect to keep this pace going. We know in order to be a team that wins the Stanley Cup, you have to be consistent.

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.

You get a team down 3-1, you want to close it out in your own building. You want to put the final nail in the coffin.

It's the biggest pick-up after the trade deadline, in my opinion. We've missed him the whole time. We're already a pretty deep team ? when you get Marty back, it's going to be great.

It's out of your control, so it won't be crushing (if he's not picked). It will be disappointing. All you can do is go out and play. I feel good about how I've played and how the team's done. The most important thing is the team's winning and I'm the top centre on the first-place team in the league. That's what's most important. It definitely won't faze me so much that it would hinder my play.

If I ever have a chance to become a top-notch guy on a top team, I think that's more valuable than anything else.

This has been Ray's team since Dom went out.
