It's good for hockey, and it's good for his area. It's interesting, the way it worked out. It's good to have this many hockey players in town.

We didn't have the budget to give them. Now we do, and we can pay the going rate.

This is our third time around at it. It's going to work this time. The players will adjust and there will be a different game. Definitely.

He made some nice moves on that play. That was great.

It's like it was back in the early '90s when we were coming to camp with a chance to win a championship every year.

Jocelyn brings a wealth of experience to our goaltending corps and will help us tremendously as we move forward.

I surrendered right away.

We're delighted to have Kevin back where he belongs, with the Penguins. Kevin brings a passion to the game that is second to none.

I would say he's been our best player, ... He's been very good.
