29 Quotes by Sergei Samsonov

I got my letter from them on Thursday. They're not telling us we're on the team, but they've told us and they've told the Bruins that we're under consideration.

I got a rebound and I had kind of a bad angle, and I was just trying to put it on net. I actually took a pretty good shot at it and I thought it was going in, but the goalie reached it with his stick and made a pretty good save.

He's definitely a talented guy. Right now, he's been put in a tough situation. He's shown a lot in his first couple of games but there's so much pressure on our team right now.

When a team is struggling, somebody has got to pay and I guess it was his turn. The team went through so many changes this year, a lot of things changed, and it seemed like it was almost natural just to go even higher.

We're at this point right now where we have to get it going. There's nothing really than can discourage us anymore. We're a desperate team, and I think we kind of showed that desperation.
