Quotes by Olli Jokinen

They were ready and we weren't. They were the better team and they deserved the two points. Tough loss for us.

It was amazing. Everything went our way, but I think the main thing was the focus right there when the puck dropped, and we didn't change anything.

It was a big two points. You have to give credit to Washington. They played really hard. Somehow, we've been able to find a way in close games against them.

It's definitely the last thing I wanted to have now, four days before the season starts, ... It's nothing major. ... I'm pretty confident it'll only be a few days.

It's always tough as a player. You never know where you're going to end up. I'm happy. For me, it felt like if I would be traded, it would be like I would just throw the towel on the floor, as well.

It's a must-win again. It's pretty much been the same story the past two weeks. I don't think it's going to change for the rest of the year.

It's amazing how hard they work, every shift.

Everybody saw we were ready to play as soon as the puck dropped. Things just kept rolling in the second period. ... It was amazing. Everything went our way.

Everybody was focusing. It wasn't easy but we were able to do that. You can see there's a lot of character in that (dressing) room.

It's really tough mentally being out of the playoffs again. It's going to be a long summer again.
