Time is running out. We don't have any points to give to anyone. We will need some great performances from everyone.

Right now, I root for any team that plays against Tampa Bay. I think it is only normal at this point. We need help, and any teams that want to chip in, we really appreciate their help.

This morning in the dressing room they were as down as I've seen a hockey club. Tonight they showed a lot of character. I have tremendous respect for this team.

There's never an easy loss, but I thought we started the game like we wanted to start. Unfortunately a couple of plays cost us the game. Buffalo is very confident right now and they take advantage of basically every one of their chances.

I think he's going to be OK. From the way he looked on the ice and when he left the ice to this afternoon, it's amazing.

There is another very important lesson: You must learn to be equipped to face your battles this year and be properly positioned on the wall. Pioneers will be challenged as they plow new ground, but I have new Body Armor I want to give you that will protect you in the days to come.

I thought we'd never score another goal, but we worked hard, we stuck together. What a great performance. Even though we got down 3-1, I think that's quite a testament to the guys.

Today is a very sad day across the hockey world and here in Atlanta. Boom Boom was an incredible man who meant a great deal to me, and I'm fortunate to have called him a friend and a mentor.

Right now we are playing good hockey and making a push for the playoffs. I thought the effort was great and we are skating very well.

I think it's a very positive first step. He had some real good chances on the power play. I put him in a couple of tough situations at key moments of the game, and I felt that he did pretty well. But let's face it, this is step one. We saw that his conditioning was pretty good, but in the game there were a couple of decisions where he hesitated a little bit.

Even though they've pretty much dominated us in the first three games, the good news is we're still right there with them.

I think we lost our focus in the second period when we could have put the Flyers away.

The best thing that is happening to us is that we have a day off. We have kind of lost our game.

It's only one game. It's not the end of the world.

It's not like one player out of 600 is playing with an illegal stick. The list of guys playing with illegal sticks is pretty known around the league. It's like speeding on the road. You're not allowed to speed, but sit beside the 55-mph sign on I-85 at night and put your radar on it. Many people will easily go over.

We found another way to win and it was a special one because we got to taste victory after a shootout. We had a great feeling on the bench, and the boys were having fun with their helmets turned around.

Their best penalty killer was Miller. They deserved to win and they beat us.

It's two incidents basically a couple of games apart. It's bad timing. We're playing obviously awful right now, so obviously everything is thrown at us and rightfully so. Right now, we're getting what we deserve, it's as simple as this.
Bob Hartley
-
It's tough, because if you lose, you obviously lose ground, and if you win, you stay there. We just have to keep winning games and hope teams start getting in trouble.

You can't go to the pharmacy to buy a pack of experience, you have to be in those games in order to acquire that experience.

He's the guy with the most experience. When you first look at him, he's been a captain, he can score, play defense, mix it up. That combines to one word and that's respect.
Bob Hartley
-
It all comes down to our big guys. Right now, we need more from certain guys. When things are going bad every mistake ends up in your net.
Bob Hartley

It's funny how human nature works. You get a big guy back, and suddenly you think that the goals are just going to come.

A hockey team is like a puzzle. Every piece is vital.
