We want him to be back. I hope he has some good performances.

He's got good speed, he's got a good shot and he's a smart player on the ice.

That's the kind of hockey we're used to seeing from the Devils. They played a really good game.

You can't judge a good start by the result. I don't think, tonight, that we got a good start. We didn't play the way we're supposed to.

It's nice to get a reward, seeing your team like we have been seeing here. They have been playing pretty hard, but they never get rewarded. Finally, tonight, there were a lot of guys who had a great game. It was a good team effort. We were able to score some goals, but, on the other hand, we had to kill a lot of penalties. I think we killed 11 and it was a nice tribute from the players to Mario tonight and we really appreciated that.

It was good to see him on the ice. Hopefully he is strong enough to play (Saturday).
