Bob Gainey Time Quotations

It's come at a great time. We've been trying to take advantage of it by not backing off or being complacent. At this time of year, where we sit in our conference, those are really strong points for us.

It'll probably be a day or two before we know the timetable for him.

That may change, but right now we're at the time of the year when playing games, results and standings are what's important.

Our power play hung in there. Even though we didn't get the ultimate reward of a goal, we had possession time in the offensive zone, we had shots, we had scoring chances. If they're working at it and doing the things you need to do to create chances but not scoring, it's still positive for your team.

Right now, every time he plays, it's like a challenge. He was well rested, he was ready and he needed to be because his counterpart in the other net was also sharp.

I think he's proven over a long period of time that he's capable of that. We were able to access that part of his play.

I'm the one who's responsible and this gives time for Guy to get comfortable with the team and the players. It's more fair for myself to step in and take responsibility until the end of the season.

Jose was a victim of an unfortunate accident and we all feel for him. He will get on with his rehabilitation as soon as the condition of his heel allows him to do so. We hope to have him back in time to help the team down the final stretch.
