I don't think he played badly, I just don't think it was a situation where he was trying to make a difference. He was just kind of feeling his way through it a little bit. And the minutes he was getting, it doesn't give him a great opportunity. - John Tortorella Quotes

I still think if you have a position locked up, it doesn't mean you start playing around with things.

Even through some of the rough spots, the team has shown resiliency. You got to hang your hat on whatever you can right now to try to build some confidence. Tonight we finished the job. - John Tortorella Quotes

We're good as far as our mindset, but Ottawa turned it up a notch. So we have to eat it and try to get better. There's no sense of dwelling over it. - John Tortorella Quotes

Absolutely, but in today's game, where are we going to go with the (salary) cap? I am (upset) at what is happening there because I thought our team played very well tonight. And this has gone on for quite a while. Is there other options out there? We can't do (anything). - John Tortorella Quotes
