Tim Thomas Good Quotations

I feel good about it. I actually feel like I could've played better today, not necessarily on the goals but I was giving up a few rebounds that I don't normally give up.

He got me last time when we were in Boston on a pretty good shot so it was my turn today.

I was looking forward to showing some character by giving a good effort all the way to the end of the year. I thought there was a good chance that maybe we could end the season with a win and feel good about ourselves. But it wasn't to be.

I think we gave a good effort and we did just about everything right in order to win hockey games, except for scoring goals. I have to hand Huet credit. He played a good game -- a really good game. But you forget about this one and go again (today at the Garden against Carolina). That's what you do.

I was very fortunate to coach with Chick Campbell. He gave me a lot of responsibilities there, so now being the head guy at North is not a total shock. It made it easier on my part. I am lucky to have a good staff with me. They're willing to put a lot of work in (to start to) build this program.

We were playing a good game and beating the team that's been charging lately, so it wasn't hard to get the morale up before the game or during. It's just low now.

The result wasn't what we wanted it to be, but the effort pretty much was. Obviously, we were just a little off. They're a good team, but we had the lead. We should have won the game.

They're good. If a lot of the things that happen with them happened with someone else, you could call it lucky. But you can't call it lucky for them, because it happens all the time. They're just pretty good. We actually did a fairly good job of going up against them. But they still got to us in the end. We were right in that game. It was pretty much even. They just got the bounce toward the end. Or made a great play. A little bit of both.

It was definitely a big shot because it was going back and forth and they were trying to get back in the game. Boris did a good job finding me in the corner and I just knocked it down.

It's a good spot for me to go out and prove to people that I'm still a scorer. There's a lot of movement in the offense, guys are very unselfish, and I can still run the floor. It's a great situation for me.

It was just a total team effort. We did a good job making everything tough for them.

After the short-handed goal, we could've just quit, but we didn't. We are disappointed we are not getting two points, but afterwards we'll appreciate getting one point from a good team.
