That’s a line that he’s played a lot with and has the most experience with on our team ... We’ll start that way with Sidney. We’ll leave James Neal with Evgeni Malkin, and Jordan Staal with Matt Cooke and Tyler Kennedy.
That one’s in a box in the attic, but I enjoy getting it back out and some of the comments I got from the players were worth it. I won’t be wearing it too much more. I’ll go with the golf shirt. I feel better wearing the brown and orange gold shirt. On...
The Penguins (32-19-5) are piling up the points as quickly as Malkin is, too; they're 8-2-1 in their last 11 games. They’ve won their last six at home despite trailing in each game, falling behind 2-0 three times and 4-1 once. Now that Letang (21...

That’s a line that he’s played a lot with and has the most experience with on our team ... We’ll start that way with Sidney. We’ll leave James Neal with Evgeni Malkin, and Jordan Staal with Matt Cooke and Tyler Kennedy.
At some point, he might break out, and you don't want it to be against your team ... He always seems to have a good game against us.
We still got in the pool ... Where else are you going to go? [Jordan Staal] got in the ocean, too, for a little bit.
They make it hard on us ... We obviously have to be prepared for the worst.
There's really nothing really to get used to besides cameras being around
We're playing well, but there's always room for improvement, always things we can do [better]
It's not too often he lays around on the ice
We had a lot of shots, a lot of opportunities
Obviously ‘Tanger’ coming back from a hit like that shows his character and what he can do
I just jumped on the ice there and saw an opening when I changed for Sid
There was a lot of character in the game
It's not going to be easy but who knows, he can make it look easy
With or without Sid we wanted to win every night and we had a chance to win every night
I think we’re all just really excited ... Obviously, no one wants to be injured and especially out for that long. I’ve been there, missing half a season. There’s definitely a lot of excitement. I think me watching him come back, I’m just really excited for him and happy.
Obviously, for the NHL, it's a great moment
It won’t be easy, but he can make it look easy.
He’s a little bit different player than I am
I figured he was getting enough of it from everywhere else ... All that matters to us really is that he's healthy. All that stuff you thought you heard, I didn't pay any attention to it.
There's been a long wait for Sid's arrival
We got a fortunate one there
It's part of the game, whether it's a physical mistake or a mental mistake
Each of those guys is pretty much a point-a-game [producer], so there's obviously a hole there that needs to be filled, and each player in the room knows that
We had a lot of shots, a lot of chances
Our special teams have to be even or better to win games
