In a private ceremony tucked away in the basement of their arena, Lightning players and staff received their Stanley Cup rings Tuesday, but it wasn't the day most of them thought it would be. The NHL had concerns about the Lightning hosting an event for the players seeing as how owners and players are in the middle of an ugly labor dispute that threatens the season. There was no pomp and circumstance and no Stanley Cup. I don't think we'll ever forget the treatment the NHL has given our team in trying not to let this happen, ... It was a joke. I think it's a slap in the face the NHL has given our fans because they should've been involved. This should have been at the Forum in front of 22,000 people as we walk up and get the rings and open it up and show the fans. I personally feel the NHL has taken some of that away from us.

Tonight's game is huge, it's absolutely huge. It will dictate what happens to us for the final three games.Tim Taylor
Honestly I would prefer that not to happen. I would much rather have three or four guys averaging in double figures than to have one or two putting up big points. It just makes it that much harder for teams to defend you when you've get three or four guys that are capable of scoring points.

He Hunter was playing great ball earlier in the season. But it kind of seemed like he's been taking a back seat lately. He's just too good of a player for that to happen. In order for us be a championship quality team he's got to play at a high level because it's really hard to have to guard three guys like that.

Most people came here because of family or someone they knew. It's great to see (an outpouring of assistance). These people have been through a lot.

That was one for the ages right there. There was a winner, but there was really no losing team. It was a battle of guts, will and character for Union just as much as for us.

Right now is no time to get down there is no time to point fingers, it's a time with three games left in the season to win two games. We are in control of our own destiny. It doesn't matter what Atlanta does, it doesn't matter where Toronto is, it's all about us. It's two out of three games. This is a time to stand up and take control of the situation.
