Chris Osgood Quotes (28 Quotes)

Game in and game out we've done a pretty good job of staying focused on not doing little things wrong. It gets to a point where it seems the games roll into each other. We just made some mental errors. It's a game against Columbus in March. We're not too concerned about it. We still ended up getting a point.

I don't look forward to the day because I don't like to see guys get traded that I like, or other guys. I didn't want to get traded from the Islanders but then when I did, reality set in that I'd been traded. It's a wild day. It's a crazy day.

We've been playing solid in games that didn't mean anything and tonight they came after us. We ran into penalty trouble in the second period. After that, we just tried to kill the clock.

You watch what's been happening this first week, and the league is getting what it wanted. In the West (conference), I don't think there's a weak team out there.

For me, it's better to be out for a week or two weeks, than be out for three months. It doesn't feel as bad as what they say, but I've never had a groin injury, so I don't know how long it will be.

Our last four games have been our best string of games in awhile. We're playing a lot better.
