Best Quotes
It would be an honor to be a captain in the future for this organization, but when you look around, there are different people having more experience than I do and have been there before. I had two persons in front of me. One was (Eric Desjardins) and the other was (Hatcher). Those were the two people in my mind that were the best people to have that job. That was one reason I was not comfortable with it.

Best Quotes
Practice was more relaxed. We need to be more relaxed. Last week was too intense. (Tuesday) we were relaxed and had more fun on the ice laughing and all that. Sometimes in hockey if you play too intense or too tight you don't play your best game. (Monday and Tuesday) were more relaxing days and I think that's going to show in our game (tonight).
-
Adjustment Quotes
A lot of the guys were going to bed early because there were guys who had slept on the plane and guys who hadn't. I talked to a lot of guys (yesterday) who were able to sleep until 9 a.m. Hopefully, the adjustment isn't going to be that difficult and we're able to get the rest we need as we go forward for the rest of the tournament.

Best Quotes
A lot of players have different opinions about the way we've played, so sometimes you need to maybe bring what you think and take the best of it. That's something we had to do and I think there are a lot positives from what we talked about and we should see a difference on the ice tomorrow.

Against Quotes
They are playing very well right now, and we had a couple good challenges against Detroit and Colorado and this one is just as tough. They are a surprising team this year and they are winning hockey games. We want to show them what we can do and get back to first place in the conference.
-
Bit Quotes
It's not supposed to be like that. But I think everybody knows that this game was maybe looking a little bit easier than Ottawa, New York and New Jersey. This may have been our toughest game this week. That's not right when you come in like that. It doesn't give respect to the other team and maybe that's what we did (Tuesday).
-
Chance Quotes
It's the kind of game you look at at the end of the season and that may be two points we could have had in the standings. All the work we did the last few games was great, but to play the way we played tonight and not put the effort into at least getting the chance to get those two points is not the right way to do it.

Bit Quotes
It's been great. It's been a while since we had a chance to do this stuff. The last time was at the start of the year in Montreal. A couple days away, putting our minds on the side and not thinking about hockey a little bit may be enough to help us rest mentally and it's something we needed right now.
