"It'll be tough to get home ice, but you want to get as high as you can and make sure you're playing good hockey going into the playoffs ... That's the main focus, to be playing good hockey."


Brian Gionta Mar 19 2010 10:40 PM from Sporting News

"They're playing well, their record has been good lately ... But it's about us. It's about where we're at and where we're going."


Jacques Martin Mar 19 2010 10:40 PM from Sporting News

"We've got a balanced attack right now with four good lines which are all pitching in"


Brian Gionta Mar 19 2010 10:40 PM from Sporting News

"When I got to camp this year, I was kind of expecting to have a defensive role as a penalty killer, kind of like last year"


Glen Metropolit Mar 19 2010 6:40 PM from Sporting News

"They play hard, they play well ... Sometimes those are the toughest teams to play against when they've got nothing, really, to play for at this time of the year."


Zach Parise Mar 19 2010 6:40 PM from Sporting News

"We have to just take care of what is in here"


Scott Gomez Mar 19 2010 6:40 PM from Sporting News

"It’s important to show more of a commitment away from the puck, and the health of our hockey team has helped ... We’ve been using four lines and six defencemen."


Jacques Martin Mar 17 2010 9:04 PM from Vancouver Sun

"I thought our team played well away from the puck ... I thought, defensively, we had good back pressure, we did a good job in our zone and, again, special teams were a factor."


Jacques Martin Mar 17 2010 9:04 PM from Vancouver Sun

"They played a real disciplined trap ... They trapped us all night and we didn’t get pucks through, and when we did we didn’t get them in the right spot. They kind of lulled us to sleep in the neutral zone."


Chris Drury Mar 17 2010 9:04 PM from Vancouver Sun

"I think it’s important for our team to focus on one game at a time"
