He was messing with Uppie (Scottie Upshall) and I wasn't going to let that happen

It was a bit of a lucky one. [Scottie Upshall] made a good play of keeping it in ... I was actually trying to throw the puck over to [Asham] for a tap-in, but it hit their D's stick and we'll take those.
Jeff and Scottie (Upshall) were kicking it around behind the net and all of a sudden it pops through the crowd to me
Montreal is being poor on the power play ... But I thought we had some great chances over the first two periods. We had a really great chance at the end, but we just kept turning the puck over at the blueline.
It's one of the best games after playing against the Thrashers ... To come into their building after a long road trip and to be able to do that is showing a lot from the guys in this room. We're working hard in practice and going back to the basics and we've been playing good as a group.
It's starting to get a little repetitive, we've been saying it for the last four or five games now and we need to change it in a hurry ... When you don't get the puck out and you lose a battle, you spend an extra 30 seconds in your zone. By the time you get it out, you don't even have enough energy to go in on the offence. You just dump it in and change and they get the puck back. So we're killing ourselves and not using our assets by not winning the battles down low in our end.
I think in some ways it's a form of respect ... I mean, I'm flattered by the fans here that they found that I should be a target for them to try to get off the game, and that's a lot of fun.
Maybe it will let us regroup ... We can stop listening to the radio, watching TV and reading the newspapers telling us how good we are, how nice we are and how well we did last year.
We did some nice things last year, but last year is last year ... When you start a new season you don't start with 20 goals or 13 assists or 40 assists, you start at zero. You have to work for those points, and right now we have guys who think they're working, but they're not working.
