I am a little disappointed in some of the top guys ... I think Martin St. Louis played well, but some of our other top guys just didn't show up tonight.
Steve Downie was probably our best forward tonight ... He had some tenacity. He tried.
I've seen enough of those walking boots. There's a store in Tampa Bay somewhere.
Against Phoenix (on Monday) there were some stretches where I didn't like how we were playing, Smitty (goaltender Mike Smith) had to come up with some really good saves for us before we were able to get control of it again ... Which is good for our team, because we are starting to get control of things ...
Marty is one of those guys, he does so much more ... If he goes nine games, at least he plays good defense. He's set up some guys on some big goals (Steven Stamkos' goal in Ottawa). He's a fireplug. he keeps going out there hard. It's the guys that when they don't score they shut down other parts of the...
Ryan Craig is a favorite of mine.
But he'd never do that ... That's the character guy Ryan Craig is.
It was tough to come into Canada and play in three tough buildings ... After that Philly game (a 6-2 loss on Monday), to come through Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal, I thought the guys played really well.

I was talking to (associate coach) Rick Wilson and we were saying that back in the day you'd probably just throw water on your back and go out ... But now, with those lingering effects you just have to be very careful. You got to make sure. Lucky that's his first one, and hopefully it's just a mild conc...
Vinny knows he's struggling, and he's got to get some passion in his game ... I talked to him about it. It's not just scoring. He's the captain of the hockey club, and it's not just him. But he's the main figure on our team. We've got to get him going. He has to show us that he's ready to play. He knows...
That's the way we are built, it's not two guys and the Tampa Bay Lightning, it's the Tampa Bay Lightning and that's the way it's got to be if we are going to compete ... It has to be.
When I decided not to dress him in Anaheim, I thought it was time to take a step backwards in order to take a couple steps forward
Well, Vinny knows he’s struggling, and he’s got to get some passion in his game ... He knows it. I talked to him about it. It’s not just scoring. He’s the captain of the hockey club, and it’s not just him. But he’s the main figure on our team. We’ve got to get him going. He has to show us that he’s read...
Vinny is still playing 20 minutes, he's still playing first-unit power play and he'll get shifts with Marty once in a while, he might get shifts with Ryan Malone ... There is still plenty of ice time for him to get with certain people, but I'm looking for a two-way game from him and that's the way we ar...
Hale had a good game in Pittsburgh (a 4-1 loss last Saturday) ... He played gritty, and we need gritty players.
We had very few 18-year-olds play ... It's bucking (history), but you look at Colorado. They're off to a heck of a start and they have a lot of young players. Around the league, teams are putting a lot of young players in. We obviously have some young guys, which is nice.
head to head with (Joe) Thornton and (Patrick Marleau ... We expect that from Vinny.
Hale had a good game in Pittsburgh ... He played gritty, and we need gritty players.
If we are going to try to trade chance-for-chance with those guys (Penguins) like we did Florida and Ottawa it might end up 14-1
Two short-handed goals, it’s embarrassing ... We gave one up against Florida [in a win Monday night]. I know it’s only game six of the season, but when you give up three short-handed goals in two games, there’s going to be some video, there’s going to be some talking and there might be some changes.
Two shorthanded goals against (Thursday), that's embarrassing ... We give up one to Florida (on Monday), it's really an alarming thing right now. I know it's only game six, but when you give up three shorthanded goals in two games, there's going to be some video, there's going to be some talking and the...
