That is a remarkable accomplishment. Unfortunately, it came against us. But at the same time, it was in front of his fans - the same fans he has been so loyal to and have been so loyal to Luc.

To see McCabe back on the ice after 30 seconds speaks for itself ... case closed.

He seemed to me moving a little bit towards the end so hopefully that is a good sign. He was going for a loose puck and both guys collided. They didn't have much time to react. You never like to see any players go down. The doctors were in there very quickly.

Those things are all about timing. I thought for the first 10 minutes it was tough for both sides to get some shots. Both teams were playing very strong defensively. You have to fight for every inch, and suddenly a puck came loose.

Sometimes you have to go outside your boundaries. You have to jump over that fence, but I always felt very comfortable (in my jobs) because I worked with some good people.

It's just another important win. They're all big wins. We're desperate. We didn't get the start (of the game) we were looking for. But we got back to our game and got some great goals. (It's) just another two points and there's a lot of hockey to be played.

I really think that we changed the chemistry of the team. Sometimes it goes either way. For us it went the wrong way. You know what, I'd rather see this happen at this time of the year. Adversity makes people better.

Andy Sutton is not a dirty player by any means. I think he's a very honest player and he just tried to finish his check. It's unfortunate and you never like to see players get injured. But it was one of those things. I think since it occurred just a couple of seconds after all those fights it looks way worse than what it is.

Obviously, I think he's going to be out a couple of weeks, but it could be longer. It's a small fracture. It all depends on how it heals and how much pain he can take.

Power plays cost us the game. If you don't score it's one thing. But if you give up the winning goal on your power play, that's where it hurts the most.

There's no way Jagr should get that kind of room in the slot. We actually had four guys back. It was a three-on-four, but we just didn't communicate and the puck ended up in our net.
Bob Hartley
-
He was the dominant factor in this game, no doubt. The one thing we could have done was get in front of him better. But we moved the puck well, made some great decisions. But we couldn't finish.
Bob Hartley

We need three more wins. There's no way we can settle for less than this. With three more wins we're going to force other people to win their games and basically that's a situation we want to be in.

You don't play with a head injury. You can come back from a broken leg, but ... a head injury could cost a guy his career.
Bob Hartley

It's too bad that we gave up that goal at the end, but that's going to happen. We found a way to come back and win it, which is a sign of a team that is desperate, but we're still on a mission.

I'm going to say that Pat Quinn can say what he wants. I don't care.
Bob Hartley

That's a team that is one of the best when it comes to four balanced lines. There's no weaknesses and they are tough to play. So to leave this building with a win is certainly a big plus for us.

If there's a problem with that hit then I'll retire.

We're are at that stage where we're really hoping for some help.

Tonight was not a typical Thrashers effort. We chased them all night. We didn't play our game.

... I had a dream where I was taken to Heaven and brought into a beautiful library. There I was given two golden books that were covered with dust. The Lord told me they were golden treasure that was needed for the Body of Christ to have the knowledge to proceed and succeed in this hour.

He has been our most consistent two-way player all year, and I can use him in any situation. He's an excellent offensive player with great speed and he is unbelievably strong on the puck. He cares about the team's success and winning more than individual stats. He's an important part of our club and he deserves the recognition he is getting.
Bob Hartley
-
It was a game where we carried the play and they carried the play for a while. It was a big game and unfortunately, they got the final shot on power play and we didn't. It's just sad.

He was just being the Scott Mellanby that started with us at the start of the year. He's a great competitor. He's at the net, he's paying the price.
