Jaromir Jagr Goals Quotations

On special teams, we weren't very sharp. They scored three goals on the power play and we didn't have any. Five on five, we can play with anybody, we know that. I don't think we're a worse team than them. Maybe less talented, but worse? No way.

Monday night, we weren't thinking. Tonight, the two goals they scored were not because of mental breakdowns. They were goals that just happened.

When you're down two goals to Ottawa, it's different than down two goals to the Islanders. I respect every team in the NHL. But I think there's a difference between the Islanders and Ottawa right now.

I'm taking the blame. Our line should score more, that's for sure. When we were winning we were able to score two, three goals a game. Our line has to find a way. When you take those two goals away, you're losing by a goal.

You have to play the game to feel how well you're playing. You know sooner or later you're going to come back. We were down two goals because we were making mistakes, not because we were playing poorly, and it almost cost us the game.

I don't want to talk about any goals. My goal was to make the playoffs before the season. And I've been in many playoffs and you just never know.

I feel like our power play was doing the job. We scored a lot of goals on the power play.

I cannot hide behind the bench and wait for somebody else. I'm the highest-paid guy on the team. Who else is going to do it? That's my job. If I cannot do it, there's no reason to be here. I have to score goals for this team to win.
