Joe Thornton Guys Quotations

He's a good leader. He's a real good field general, getting the guys lined up.

We just forced their defense. We were just all over them. It's nice to see plenty of goals. Guys are feeling good right now.

It was a lot of fun...seeing all the guys and finally playing our first game.

Those guys are going to get signed. It's just a matter of time.

I talked to them, they want to be back here. We need both those players. Those guys are going to get signed. It's just a matter of time. If those guys get signed, we'll have a great team this year.

He's got a hard shot and he's tough to cover. He's my go-to guy. He looked great. A lot of guys said he was going to be tired, but he looked great and felt great on the bench, no huffing and puffing, so he did good. I was impressed.

We play these guys pretty good. We all know we've got to win a bunch of games to get into the playoffs.

The guys are just shooting the puck real well right now. They're making me look better than I am.

I think we're gonna get those guys signed, ... I've talked to both of them and I know they want to be here. They're just doing what they think they need to do, but they know we need them here and management knows that, too. I still think they will get it done and they'll be here soon.

Hopefully we can look back and say that's how we got into the playoffs. We had 20 guys show up tonight. We're hoping we can reel off three or four in a row and keep it rolling.
