Simon Gagne Quotations

When you have everybody, it brings some confidence for the other lines. We had success with that (line) at the start of the year and hopefully it can help us win games the rest of the way.

That's a big number. It was good to get this one. I don't want to say I was not focusing on the game, but it will be a lot easier to focus.

It's fun what's going on right now. The puck keeps going in.

It's easy to play with him. I read him pretty good. I just need to get open and he's going to find me. That's a feeling you have to have to be successful.

Right now we don't have it. We need to find a way to get that back.

Practice was more relaxed. We need to be more relaxed. Last week was too intense. (Tuesday) we were relaxed and had more fun on the ice laughing and all that. Sometimes in hockey if you play too intense or too tight you don't play your best game. (Monday and Tuesday) were more relaxing days and I think that's going to show in our game (tonight).

Some nights it's like that. Some nights it's mental. If a couple guys aren't ready, that makes a big difference. In hockey, you need all 20 guys.

It's not supposed to be like that. But I think everybody knows that this game was maybe looking a little bit easier than Ottawa, New York and New Jersey. This may have been our toughest game this week. That's not right when you come in like that. It doesn't give respect to the other team and maybe that's what we did (Tuesday).

It (Olympics) is definitely a step up from the NHL regular season play.

It's tough news to take right now, especially with the start I have had and everything was going well. Right now, we're going through so many injuries and my turn came.
