We have to try and learn something from every night. We have to do a better job of staying out of the penalty box, because we can't let that become the focus of our game. If we are going to have a lot of penalties, we have to be better on the power play. We let our team down tonight. We had numerous opportunities to get back into this thing when it was 1-0.
More Quotes from Joe Nieuwendyk:
He's a pretty versatile guy. He can play up the middle or on the wing, so it gives some different combinations. When we all get our legs going and get cracking here, that'll be a good option.Joe Nieuwendyk
Gary and I are well aware of that (Oct. 31) game. There is a lot of hockey between now and then, but it will come up quickly.

That's probably why we're winning the way we are. When you have goaltending like we have, you can afford to be stingy defensively and not take too many chances offensively. When you get down two or three, then you have to open things up, and that leaves you vulnerable for more bad habits. He gives us a chance to win every night, and that's a real good cushion to have.

Mats is a great captain and a good friend. He's the leader of that team and he shows why. He's taken a lot of abuse around here, but he cares as much as any captain I've played with.

We had some opportunities, 5-on-3, that we couldn't capitalize on and they made good on theirs. It's frustrating because we had a really good opportunity tonight.

When you lose Pronger and MacInnis, that's a big part of the chemistry of your team. They're in a rebuilding phase, there's no question about it. We're going to see some faces tonight that we probably haven't seen.
