Jason Spezza Game Quotations

We know how important the game is for them.

I'm slowly getting better ... it's still kind of day-by-day. It's definitely frustrating, any time you miss games it's frustrating. But the most important thing is we heal it properly and it doesn't become a reoccurring problem.

We have to realize we're not playing good hockey right now. But we still have one game left until the audition is over and the real season begins. We still have a little time to sort things out.

Special teams are big. That's how you're going to win games down the stretch.

It was a big goal and we were pretty excited. We battled hard for a great comeback. People had kind of quit on us in this game and we battled back to score and it was nice to get that. Too bad we didn't score in overtime.

You don't want to lose three in a row to anyone. But we've got a good thing going here. We're winning hockey games and we just want to keep it going. The more wins you get, the better.

I don't know what is going to happen or where we would stay or if we could practice. Hopefully, we're at least going to get to practice with the team. I guess we could go to the games and sit in the stands. If that's the case, maybe (Staal) and I will be just there having beers, watching the games.

They're like us. If they get the first goal, it's hard for us to come back. They try to play us tight. We have to open the game up against them.

You're going to get down in games and you have to learn to battle back to win them and we did.

I'd really like to have my own style of game and be known as Jason Spezza, not a Mario Lemieux or Wayne Gretzky 'clone.'

My goal is to be at the top of my game every night.
