Wayne Primeau Quotations

Growing up, I was always an offensive player. I was drafted in the first round in Buffalo. Just my role changed when I got to this level. Right now, it feels good to contribute offensively. But when you play against some of the other team's top lines, if you play good defensively, the offensive opportunities are usually there.

He was just a steady guy. Never flashy, but he was a big part of their championship teams.

It was a great experience. Anyone would love to have the chance to say they played with Mario. It was pretty amazing.

Every day, every practice, every game I feel more comfortable. It was a little difficult at the start (after the trade), but the guys have been real receptive.

It feels good, but at the same time it feels better to get the win and get the two points. We need them.

The coaches have done a great job of researching other teams and finding out what we have to do to either clog up the neutral zone. We have the guys who are doing it.

I don't really think too many guys are really worried about it. You hear (about) it in the media and stuff, but I don't think it's a concern for too many guys.

A lot of people in the East don't know those guys because they have been in the West their whole career. They bring a lot to the table and they're a big reason for our success so far.
