I was really happy with Mike Green. Not only was he contributing offensively, but he was really making good plays, good decisions. Defensively, he was really strong. For a debut, I didn’t know how he would be just coming off a little bit of an injury. He was real strong. I’m glad he got through that. I think he’s looking forward to a good season now.

That’s what leaders do, i have a lot of respect for Ovi in that. That’s the mindset you need to have. If you don’t have that, you might as well pack your bags.

We're going to be the best in the league at something. We're deep in anthem singers.

The team takes on the identity of its top payers... I don't want to take anything away from the Capitals offensively.

We are learning from our history and are looking it right in the eye and we went after this game. There's no nervousness on our part. We went after the New York Rangers in their own barn and almost pulled it off, i said to them all year defeat is not your undertaker and should be your teacher ... you’re going to see the Washington Capitals back here again.

We've got to compete harder than The Islanders, plain and simple.

At the same time, preparation is important to playoff success.

I kept saying to the guys all year long is that you learn different things from defeat and you learn different things from winning.
