More - Tony Granato Quotes

Peter was huge, especially in the second half of the year. I think we were in 11th or 12th in our conference [at the halfway point], but we were able to rally behind that line offensively. They did the things that helped us win a ninth straight division title. When you go from 11th or 12th in the conference to winning your division on the last day, you got to be sparked by someone who can take the lead. And that was what Peter was able to do. - Tony Granato Quotes

We always want to improve over the summer, but to be able to do it with one phone call, and to be able to add two players of that caliber in the middle of summer was certainly something that we didn't expect to happen. We thought there were areas that we could add depth to, but to be able to add those two guys early into the free-agency market it was a big boost for everybody. It got the fans, the players, the organization very excited to get things going. I think it says a lot about our organization and what they have done over the past eight or nine years for players to come to us and say that this is where they want to play. - Tony Granato Quotes

I'm surprised a lot of the guys didn't make it. But it's not an easy team to make and we already had three representatives, so I'm sure that played into it. If they were on different teams and they were having the years they are having, I'm sure they'd be on it. I'm sure they would love to be on it, but in the big picture I know what they are worried about and that's helping our team win. - Tony Granato Quotes

Our expectations here every year are to win the Stanley Cup. So if you don't, you don't feel like you've fulfilled that. It was disappointing, but being able to sit back now and give our guys a whole summer to heal and rest and get ready for next season, that's a positive that comes out of it. Yeah, it hurt bad losing to them, but it's something you have to deal with when it happens, and then you move on and try to become better because of it. - Tony Granato Quotes

Everyone made a big deal about it, but I didn't understand how it couldn't work. I think it's just people trying to look at a situation and create something that's really nothing. - Tony Granato Quotes
