Look around the league and look in the faces of other teams that are winning; the guys that have broken noses and stitches on their faces because they get in the tough areas and take a hit to make a play. It's time we started to get in the trenches, because we haven't for [36] games, which is unacceptable.

I've had the chance to be part of two great teams in Dallas and last year in Tampa Bay, and those are experiences I can take with me to Long Island. I look at the Islanders the way I saw our team in Tampa Bay, as a team on the verge of something great.

They're a good team. They just outworked us.

I don't regret a minute of my time in Tampa. Any time you do something special like (winning a Stanley Cup), you always want it to continue. Unfortunately, I didn't get the call.

We've had an up-and-down season, but I love it here. Great area, the guys are great, the coaching is good. ... I'm enjoying it.

I can't tell you guys. I'll tell you [tonight] after the game.

I'm a pretty basic guy.

We have to hold ourselves more accountable. Two years ago, I played on a team that went 1-10 in January and went on to win the Stanley Cup. We had good character guys. We have good character guys here. We just have to rise to the challenge and have to push each other.

He's done a great job bringing the guys together.
