Daniel Briere Quotations

To be honest with you, I just think it was time for Miro to move on. Miro's a great hockey player, but I don't think he had any chemistry with the players that we have here.

All you try to do is get open. He's one of the few guys who will be able to find you anywhere.

It's just frustration. We don't know where to go anymore. We don't know what is a penalty, and what's not. We're trying to bang some rebounds in, just going to the net. I paid the price for trying to score a little too hard.

It's just the same. It's just not going away. It's not improving. It hasn't been worse than it was since the Pittsburgh game, but it's not getting better, either, so that's the frustrating side.

It seems like we're digging deeper and deeper into a hole. Maybe we don't feel the urgency to produce. It's not something we can let go anymore. You can lose two or three, but not four, five going into the playoffs.

I never saw him. It was careless on my part, but it wasn't on purpose. Sometimes that's going to happen.

I'm very excited to see him come back, but they made it perfectly clear to me, even though it's the same type of injury and the same type of surgery, that it wasn't the same thing.

I think it went well. I saw the doctors again this morning and they both told me that it looked good. Right now it's a tough time, but at the same time I'm on the upswing. It's recovery time. And I'm happy we finally found out what was wrong and I can look forward to coming back on the ice.

I think maybe we looked too much for the tie. But give them credit, they bounced back. From being up two goals, then losing that lead and still finding a way to win.

It's not going to be easy, but it's great for the fans. We get to see the Leafs, Canadiens, Bruins and Senators more often. It's better for travelling as well. There's a lot of positives, but emotion will be a big factor.
