Hal Gill Quotations

But did you see the video? It was pretty blatant. There's worse things you can do, but that's not a good thing ... and I've heard he's done it before.

In the second period, we took a couple of penalties, and that gave them some momentum. We have to keep them from changing the momentum, because that's what has been costing us games lately. Tonight, Hannu kept that game from going the other way.

We definitely have to play him a different way with the new rules. They help out guys that are strong and fast and big and he's got it all. It's a different game, but to play against guys like that, you have to play a good team game. You have to back guys up. And if he's going to do anything, it's going to have be from 200 feet. We want to play in their end, especially to neutralize him.

We are not a pretty team and to be successful we have to do the little things. We need to stack some wins together because playing .500 won't get it done the rest of the way.

I think our fans were anxious to have hockey back, and they're going to be in a good mood. It's a long, cold winter in Boston without hockey and the Bruins. I know for us, as players, it's real good to be back and to be doing what we love to do. Hopefully, we can make it up to our fans by having a great season and giving them what they want (a Stanley Cup).

Maybe it's a penalty, maybe it isn't. I think what he got was too much.

No, I thought we'd at least be fighting for a playoff spot now. I thought we had done a nice job of getting into the playoff race right before the (Olympic) break, but when we came back, we just couldn't get anything going and we couldn't get any breaks.

It's great so far. He's a quiet guy, but he's pretty intense. I love it.

It's crunch time and we have to go. The effort that was there just wasn't good enough at all.

I think if you don't want to wear a helmet, don't wear a helmet. If you don't feel like wearing pads, don't wear them. It solves a lot of problems but I think it's a personal decision.
