The character that he has, he didn't say a word ... That's what I like about Brad. He takes responsibility. When he's given a chance, he answers properly.
I think anybody who comes back from that and has missed that amount of time is going to be slow coming back ... It's almost a natural process. You saw [Patrice] Bergeron take almost half a year, three-quarters of a year.
He’s probably not getting the points on the board the way everybody would like it to be, and when I say everybody, that’s including ourselves. That line is certainly capable of scoring and putting some points on the board, but that hasn’t been happening much lately
I like what I see ... That line is starting to give us some real good shifts and like it because there‘s times where you don‘t always want a hard match, so when they put their top lines on and we‘ve come off a power-play, you can feel comfortable about putting that line out there and still doing the job...
Just like teams that played us early in the year, we’re not the same team anymore ... That’s how you make sure you don’t get too overconfident, by understanding that there’s some highs and lows during the season.
You’re going to hear me repeat myself every time something like that happens
There’s always something you can do better and after every game we look at game tape ... The last game the one thing I felt we could have been better at was those outnumbered situations. We didn’t get any shots off those. We have to be better at those and sometimes, instead of forcing a play, maybe a sh...
I’m encouraging him to take the puck himself and take it to the net ... He works a lot to make plays and he’s actually pretty good at it. But there are times where he could definitely bring it to the net himself and reward himself with that part of his game, because he’s got the speed and he’s pretty go...
It was just about slowing the game down a little bit
What hurt us was the rhythm of the game ... When you look at the second period, the rhythm of the game got changed.
We all know how these streaks sometimes end and it kind of deflates the bubble ... We don’t want that to be the case with our team. We just want to keep plugging along here. We won some games (during) the streak that we didn’t deserve and we lost one (Friday) where we deserved a better fate. It balances...
I thought we were good ... The lines got unbalanced after a little while because of the score, but for the most part I thought we had some good effort and the guys played hard.
I don't think it's the end of the world that it ended tonight
There’s some scouting reports on goaltenders. The last guy that shot did a pretty good job and even Tyler ... It is what it is. I think [Peverley] tried to go against the grain there and missed the net. We’ve got guys when it’s time to deke, the scouting report is out there and we have certain guys that...
There’s nothing wrong with the game we played. I thought we were the better team out there ... Having said that, we won some games lately that maybe we didn’t necessarily deserve, but we found ways to win. And that’s what (Detroit) did.
He's come along and it's been a bit of an adjustment for him because of the fact that he's wearing a full facemask and you've got to get used to that
We had some excellent chances. It was a great game
I liked him as both an individual and a player ... And he was a hard worker. Unfortunately, organizations make decisions based on what they can or can't do. And we didn't have a choice but to put him on the waivers at that stage. He got picked up because he was a good player.
Whether it's impressive or whether it was really needed for us to get back into a playoff spot, that was the main theme ... We kind of kissed away that first month and we had to redeem ourselves.
We've always taken care of ourselves

We’re not the ones looking for revenge, if there is one ... That’s not a big issue, and I think our team has been able to handle teams that have tried to push us around, so that’s not even something we’re going to lose sleep over.
