142 Quotes by Daniel Alfredsson

I'm sure everybody is going to support Ted Saskin because he is the right man for the job. He did a good job for us in the collective bargaining agreement negotiations and I believe everybody wants to move forward.

When he was out, you could really tell how much we missed him. He's one of the best defensemen in the world, I think, and probably very underrated. He jump-starts a lot of our offense, not just our power play, but obviously he's one of the keys on our power play as well.

I'm happy it was Fisher, ... because he's pretty good-looking.

We've got to play smarter, there's no question. We tried to keep it simple in our own end and when we didn't, it cost us right away.

If Ray doesn't play as well as he did in the first period, we're down more than a goal.

He's a good goalie, there's no question about that.

If you play well, you make your own luck. Obviously, it was close for them to tie the game up, but overall, I thought we were the better team.

I hope not, but I think he is. In a short tournament like that, goaltending is huge. He's one of those goalies who can get in other people's heads. If he starts shutting you down after two periods you start thinking, and he's really great that way. He can get in your head for sure.

He's going to play a big part on this team this year. I don't think it's fair to put too much pressure on him but we're looking for him to probably be a No. 1 centre and I think he has what it takes to do it and he certainly has the desire so it's going to be fun to watch him this year.
