Tom Renney Chance Quotations

Three to four weeks gives us a chance at four. It's an emotional roller-coaster for him. He's never had this type of injury, so first, the fact that he's hurt and that it interrupts his Olympic experience, it's pretty tough for him.

We have to get Kevin going, get him rolling. I wouldn't mind giving him a chance to go back and play the Islanders. He had a tough game the last time he was there.

We're giving ourselves the chance to ride the hot guy.

If we give ourselves a chance 5-on-5, we'll get that win we're looking for. If we don't, it's short.

If we're going to win this series anyway, with or without Jagr, we have to have all hands on deck. If we give ourselves a chance 5-on-5, we'll get exactly what we're looking for. If we don't, it's short.

He may be around for a few days just to give us a chance to do that. Whether that gets him into a game situation remains to be seen.

We have to play fundamental, sound hockey, with him in or out of the lineup, quite frankly. And if we give ourselves a chance with whomever wears the colors to play five-on-five or better, we have a decent chance to win the game. Basically, we beat ourselves (in Game 1).

We're going to be really very, very careful here and make sure that we give him a chance to assess where he is, both psychologically and physically, before we even contemplate putting him back in.

There's no benefit-of-a-doubt stuff in the playoffs. You're in the big parade now and you have to participate. If we give ourselves a chance to play five-on-five hockey, then who knows?

You're in the 'big parade' now, and you have to participate. If we give ourselves the chance to play five-on-five hockey, then who knows? This is something that's been in our game early in the season, late in the season, and it's obvious that we are incapable of dealing with these types of situations. We have to stay out of the penalty box to give ourselves a chance.

It's a team that lost its poise and it's composure, simple as that. We clearly talked about what needed to be done in the second period and if we would have given ourselves a fighting chance by playing even-up hockey, there's a good chance we win the hockey game. We lost our composure, saw some selfish hockey, some undisciplined players and some guys who chose to think of themselves before their teammates.

I felt we had a reasonable chance of making the playoffs. Earlier in the year when this (success) was happening to us, it was pretty neat. We have an expectation now.
