20 Quotes by Scott Hartnell

With no red line there should be a lot of goals. You can read the play where it is going up the wall. If you leave the zone early and a guy can make a good pass to you then you can have a breakaway if you beat the defenseman. There could be two or three breakaways for each team every game, especially if a defenseman falls down. It will be interesting.

I didn't believe it at first. I was supposed to sign a new contract that day, and they asked me to wait because they had bigger news.

But we went out there on our last shift and said, 'We are going to do it.'

I thought we played a hard 60 minutes, taking the body and showing a lot of second effort. We played really well, but whether it's 6-0 or 3-2, it's still a loss and that's tough to swallow.

I still think of my last few games here and how exciting it was in that arena, how electrifying it was. Hopefully, come opening night, it will be that same way.

We had a bunch of chances. You look at the names on our power play, and we should have two or three goals off that each night. Goalies can stop the puck if they are able to see it, and we didn't do a good job of that. We had a bunch of shots there at the end, and they just weren't going in.

Tomas played remarkably. Without him, who knows what the score would have been.
