I'd definitely be disciplined if the roles were changed around. I'd have got a five-game suspension.

But this is the second one we've had - a group of drunken Scotsmen stole the last one!

I can't repeat that in the paper. You've got to let him know you can't let him run around like that. I just told him, we play them one more time.

From what we've seen and heard here, the latest trend in migrant smuggling from Cuba is the go-fast boat. For those that go the route of migrant smuggling, they leave themselves at the mercy of smugglers who don't have an interest in their safety. They are interested in the cash.

He gets the last word on Saturday nights.

He was afraid I was going to do something to him or something.

He just started punching me. I don't know what was happening. Obviously, we're going to have to be ready because we know that the next game is going to be tough.

It'd be a good feeling. You've got to have that killer instinct to put a team out when you have them down.

When the boat capsized, it had slowed. It was wallowing. It took on water.

Trying to illegally enter the United States from the maritime domain is inherently dangerous and threatens the lives of all involved.

There is nothing on the tape that shows the Coast Guard in any way endangering the lives of those on board the vessel. The only ones who put those people's lives in jeopardy were the people at the controls of that boat.

We want to finish them off in Ottawa. They're going to be ready to go (in Game 5) and they've still got a lot of firepower.

We were only up 3-2 at the time. He didn't set a good precedent for his teammates. He's one of their skill players, a leader in that dressing room, and taking a penalty like that, it puts them behind the 8-ball. You don't see a guy like Daniel Alfredsson doing that, you know - that's a good leader.

The way he came back, it was unbelievable. That's all I can say about him. His focus was right on the game. It was a way for him to get away from it all, even if it's for three hours. The guy is the leader in this dressing room and has been an important player.

There were two alleged smugglers, and apparently they were among 14 people who were able to cling to the hull of the boat after it capsized. Eleven of those people eventually floated away -- and they did not have life jackets.

It's like a mini-playoff series almost. The biggest thing is we've got to be prepared, don't take them for granted.

Everybody saw it. You want to talk to the referee about a call he makes and you can't even go near the guy ... Even the captains and the assistant captains weren't able to say anything because he wasn't willing to listen. Everybody was frustrated.

The boat rolled and eventually capsized and came to rest upside down with some people clinging to the hull.

He asked me to fight ... he came after me and dropped his gloves.

He basically appeared as the vessel was righted.
