Ed Jovanovski Quotations

We were hovering near the bottom and it was nice to rebound and get some big ones. We needed to get more pucks to the net instead of making that one extra pass. Establish a shot first and that will open things up.

He flat-out said you are going to be fine. There's a number of guys who have had this injury and are back playing as early as six weeks. I'm not saying I'm going to be back in six weeks ... I can't do much within three weeks. After that I will rehab. I'm a determined guy and I'm already starting to feel better. I don't have that initial pain I had before.

He (Richards) had his done and he's back to 100 per cent. His surgery lasted an hour and a bit so his surgery was a little longer and he had a little more tearing in his, but he's back to where he doesn't really think about it.

I thought the first period was a solid period. The second period, we weren't bad, but they kind of took it to us a little bit. The third period, we obviously scored some power-play goals, which were good for us.

I think this game has just got back on it's feet. I don't think we need that garbage settling in.

I think enough's enough. Everybody understands both sides of the situation. Todd has kind of been through a lot, and he's very remorseful over the whole incident. And as for Moore, you have to wish him the best and hope he recovers.

Surprisingly I didn't feel too bad. I think the coaches did a great job watching my minutes and getting feedback from me on the ice. Hopefully I can go a little bit harder next game and hopefully get back in the stride.

There are a lot of great players and at the end of the day you hope you're there.

We all know the pressure he's been under. To see the bright lights shine on him is important.

At the end of the day what happened was we didn't perform, so the easiest guy to get rid of is probably Crow right now. He can't take full responsibility for it, but Dave felt a change needed to be made and is doing what he felt is best for the team.

Dr. Meyers is a specialist in this area and he determined right away what the problem was. I was about two seconds from boarding a plane back to Vancouver to spend a couple of days thinking about it, but I thought this was the best way to go.

I've been around long enough that people know what kind of player I am and I think there's only an upside to all this.

According to everybody else he has a lot to prove. And there has been a lot on his mind but he's focused on hockey. He's going to be OK.

I honestly didn't know how my body would respond today. I'm definitely not 100 per cent, but if I can be a small piece to this puzzle to help us get into the playoffs, then I'll sacrifice my body for it.

I obviously didn't envision this. I thought we had it going pretty good there up 2-0. They came back and we found away to get it done. Obviously I didn't envision scoring the game winner in overtime but you know all in all it was a great feeling and it was a good two points for us.

I didn't know if it was going to count. I was pushed into the net, but it wasn't dislodged. I saw the puck go by me. I asked Matt after and he said it went in before it came off.

Hopefully, I can go a little bit harder next game and get back in stride. My experience can help a little bit -- I'm a small piece of the puzzle and just trying to contribute.

Hopefully my experience can help a little bit. I'm just a small piece of the puzzle.

I approached the day like I was going to be in the lineup. I'm not 100 per cent, but I want to be in the playoffs.

All the workouts and the rehab . . . it was worth it. Once the scar tissue breaks down a little more, I'll have a little more range and start feeling a little better.
