We let a good hockey player go to Atlanta, ... But I just felt it was time for change. We had two runs at the Stanley Cup, one was partially successful, last season we failed. There's a reason when you fail and those reasons have to be looked and tried to be rectified and this is what we're trying to do.
More Quotes from John Muckler:
They lost Game7 of the conference finals when Devils winger Jeff Friesen scored with 214 to play, but by then it was just as easy to say that Ottawa had beaten itself. Despite having home ice advantage in all three of their playoff series, the Senators didn't win the first two games at home in any series. Then they committed the unpardonable act of falling behind three games to one to New Jersey. For Ottawa to be a juggernaut this season, it must assert itself. This team, ... needs more of a killer instinct.John Muckler
I think we do have enough depth in the organization to cover for Marty while he's gone and at the same time it will give us an opportunity to look at our younger players.

We are still optimistic. I don't know if he will be back for the first playoff game, but he's going to give it a try and we are going to go day-by-day.

We came awful close last year, ... I felt we had a great opportunity to be the Stanley Cup champs. I think we've gone through everything you need a team to go through and experienced everything that you need to go through to become champions. There's no reason to think that our team can't take that next step. Every championship team goes through that stage or learning how to win. You face disappointments along the way, but after the disappointments comes success.

This team has the most character I've been associated with since Edmonton. Now they have to prove it. They came to camp believing that they can win the Cup.

I didn't know what to think to tell you the truth, first you're worried about how serious this could be and the consequences of course. Fortunately I don't believe there are any major consequences to this injury.

The rosary was said every evening. I always liked that sentence about the medieval Churches, that they were the Bibles of the poor. The Church was my first book and I would think it is still my most important book.
