Rick DiPietro Ourselves Quotations

When you're already out of the playoffs, you need to find to certain things to motivate you. I thought we did a good job of stressing the fact that this is a huge rivalry for us and we owe it to our fans and ourselves to come out and put in a good effort.

We need all the points we can get right now. We've kind of been digging ourselves a hole and any way we can get the two points, we'll take them.

We have to put ourselves in a position where those two points mean something.

It's a tough loss. Games this big you can't afford to drop like that in the third period. We did it again, and we're just putting ourselves further and further behind the 8-ball.

I mean, guys have personal goals now and things they want to do. We have to keep winning. There are still 10 games left. We owe it not only to ourselves but the fans to come out and play hard.
