Ken Klee Quotations

There are two points available and we need them. We can't be worried about the last time when they put it on us pretty good.

Momentum switches in a heartbeat, ... I thought we were taking it to them, then there was one extraordinary play by their guy. ... I'd like to have it over again.

But it would have been nice enough to have a little more input from the guys, and let guys know who Ted is. I think that's the only problem guys have had -- they don't really know Ted. And so, when he comes around to do the fall tour, they are going to be meeting him, but he already has the job.

I always say it's a game of confidence. When you're feeling good, good things happen.

We just have to be better. We were bad in every area of the game. It's unacceptable.

Having said that, I'm glad to be back. I wanted to be a Maple Leaf and it seems they wanted me.

He was a great addition, but I don't think Brian Leetch was the reason for our 100-plus point season.

I think we need someone in charge moving into the season, and I think that was probably the rush by the executive committee,

I was just trying to mess with him a little bit.

Physically I feel good, ... There is only one way to get in game shape and that is by playing games. I'm excited to get going.

People must remember that Brian Leetch was only here for about 20 games,

It felt like I stepped in a hole. I tried to step up and chip the puck out of our zone, and I must have caught a rut in the ice. The ankle just rolled over and buckled.

I think I'll fit in well. It's a defensive-minded team and I'm a defensive-minded player.

We were looking for one of us to have a good lane to bomb the puck,

Yeah, a bunch of us had to give urine samples.

We were fortunate to capitalize on the power play. There were a lot of power play calls.

We got a point tonight but we needed two and we know that. Hopefully we're going to start to go in the right direction. We need to.

We had a lead. We need to find a way to close it out. We both need points. Both teams are on the outside of the playoffs looking in.

Thus far it has been a non-stop giving spree by the players, and it's not enough for them. It just boggles the mind that they are going to flush (the season) down the toilet.

As I said before, if they didn't want me, well, I didn't want to be where I'm not wanted,

Things are changing, but it's exciting, ... When they changed the rules, they were looking for ways to allow teams to come back who were down in games.

The bottom line is it's about winning. We got a point, but we needed two.

I tried to screw with him a little bit. I didn't want to take a full mugging.

It's huge having him back. I don't care what team you're talking about, if you take the best player off a team it's going to hurt them.

Not every game is going to be the prettiest game. It used to be a third-period lead was rock-solid and now it is not. We need to bear down. But we have to get two points and that is what we did.

I'm not worried that we're not in the playoffs right now. We have 35 games left. We know it's going to be tight race the rest of the way.

In sports when you don't win, there have to be changes made. Ownership and management decided that was the move to make. Obviously I liked Pat and thought he was a great coach, but when you don't make the playoffs, changes have to be made.
