Our power play was really clicking. Lots of skill, lots of speed and lots of experience.

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

I think we picked up life from the New Jersey game. Our penalty killing is unbelievable, and once again our penalty killer is Garnett. Our forwards and our defensemen also are doing a great job blocking shots and applying pressure. We're making smart decisions.
Bob Hartley -
If there's a problem with that hit then I'll retire.
Bob Hartley -
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 -
Books were not looked upon as things unobtainable due to economic circumstances or class status. My grandfather stole an entire set of Dicken's from the local library.
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.

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 -
I have always felt very fortunate to be have good people. You know, talent will carry you for so far but the values of the people around that should make the difference.
Bob Hartley -
They are getting tougher and tougher. I don't know if someone will make a movie on us, but they would have a good script.
Bob Hartley -
... 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.
Bob Hartley -
We're are at that stage where we're really hoping for some help.
Bob Hartley -
Personally I don't believe in standing on the ice, or jamming the blueline, waiting. I have always told my players that hockey has to be played on your toes.

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.
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.
Bob Hartley -
I'm going to say that Pat Quinn can say what he wants. I don't care.
Bob Hartley -
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.
Bob Hartley -
Obviously, this is a tough loss. Our margin for error is real small and we're going to have to run the table.
Bob Hartley -
Tonight was not a typical Thrashers effort. We chased them all night. We didn't play our game.
Bob Hartley
-
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 -
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.
Bob Hartley -
We're going to pick up whatever is left of him when it is over. I just hope the Finnish team will supply the elastic bands (used to treat groin injuries) when he comes back.
Bob Hartley -
I thought the effort was good. I think we lost our focus in the second period when we could of put the Flyers away.
