  • Look at great teams like Detroit a couple of years ago; they win the Stanley Cup and guys only score 25 goals, nobody has a really big season.

  • The celebration... you cannot practice it or anything. It's a moment when the excitement of your goal make you react to the moment.

  • We talked to the referees before the game; there's always new situations to adjust, for the refs and for us as well. Even on the ice, it's good for players to talk and interact with the referee.

  • This is definitely a playoff team. There's no question about that. It's just a matter of how much we want it.

  • My job is to score goals.

  • We want to learn all the game and play the best way and take to our advantage.

  • Sometimes that happens. I know how it feels to lose eight or nine to nothing. It can be frustrating but it was good for us. This was a team that was hot the last nine games. It seemed like any puck we touched went our way.

  • To me, it's like we're already in the playoffs. Every game is important for our position. We can't relax at all.

  • Our team has a lot of talent. I hope that soon we will break out with four or five goals and avoid overtime.

  • I just cannot have an offer on the table and just let it go.

  • Two or three years ago, every game I want to score. And after I score a goal I have a spark and I'm so happy I want more. Now I'mkind of different. I'm not saying I lost my spark - I still have it - but I don't chase the goal as much as I used to. I'm playing for the team andI still know I can score, but it's different than two or three years back.Look at great teams like Detroit a couple of years ago; they winthe Stanley Cup and guys only score 25 goals, nobody has a really big season. You have to play defense, that's how you win.

  • My speed is my greatest asset.

  • Now I'm kind of different. I'm not saying I lost my spark - I still have it - but I don't chase the goal as much as I used to. I'm playing for the team and I still know I can score, but it's different than two or three years back.

  • Obviously, I have a lot of memories here... but at the same time I'm going to put all my energies into moving forward and doing my best for the Thrashers.
