He doesn't look very happy and when he's cranky you don't want to talk to him. It's playoffs. Everything is kept secret, even from us, maybe because they don't want players saying something stupid. I know as much as you do.

It's getting frustrating but it's not about me, it's about the team. If I can help, I'll be there. I'm shooting for Saturday.

You always see Mark as a hockey player. It's going to be odd to see him without the skates on. To me, Mark looks more like a GM, he always has this solid look. I don't see Mark throwing bottles and sticks on the ice.

We play to win the Stanley Cup. Failure in the playoffs ? I count that as not a good season.

We did things hockey players don't ordinarily do, but all the guys took it well. It was very physical. Imagine pushing an 8,000-pound car uphill. I think it made us closer. You learn a lot about each other. Nobody quit. You're not ashamed to look each other in the eye after that.

He doesn't look very happy, and when he's cranky you don't want to talk to him. He's a warrior. We all know that if he's ready, he's gonna play.

I think maybe we were too confident. We tried to be more fancy.

I know players have changed their view of the Rangers. We have a chance of winning. Before, maybe they think they come here to make money.

All we want to do is win one game. That's all we're thinking about now. We're not worried about history or winning four games in a row. We don't want to get embarrassed in front of our crowd. We don't want to get swept at home.
