Jason Fitzsimmons Quotations

We're fighting for a playoff spot, where Florida had such a good start that they know they're going to make the playoffs. We're fighting for our lives.

Scott is definitely out and Nate will be a game-time decision.

I don't know what it is about (Charlotte), but they seem to have our number this year. I think every year you kind of struggle against one team. For the most part they've been competitive games, but for whatever reason, they've been able to come up with a few more bounces and get the wins.

Marty really helped solidify our blue line. He's really helped calm everyone down back there. I would hate to have him out of the lineup for a long time.

With Scott out of the lineup and Nate questionable, Aaron couldn't have come back at a better time for us. He has played the last 45 games at the American League level and I think that's only going to help us defensively.

I've never seen anything like it during the regular season. Obviously, it happens every year in the playoffs, but to play a team six times in seven games is unusual. We're treating it like a playoff series. We want to get as many points out of this as possible. We're trying to move up the playoff ladder.

I don't know if it was really that many shots, but I know it was a lot. Gwinnett has a very powerful offensive team. We've got to do a better job of limiting their shots.
