Joe Sakic Played Quotations

I was surprised. I didn't see that coming. We're going to miss him. It was just a great treat every time you played Pittsburgh and watched Mario play. We're going to miss him as a player, but I'm sure he's going to be around the game.

He's a great goalie. He played well for us when he had his opportunity. He's played well for them.

He's been great. This is exactly what we expected from him. Every time he's played this year, he's played well for us. We have a lot of confidence in him.

Those are two big guys on our team. It's a tough loss, but I think everybody pulled together and played pretty well.

We have to worry about a playoff spot. We've had a pretty good year, got a lot of wins. The way the game is being played now, especially with the shootouts, a lot of the teams out west are good teams. It makes for an exciting race.

We've had some bad starts lately and we wanted to make sure the start of this game was a lot better. We played a solid first period and that gave us momentum. We've been playing a lot of catch-up lately and we didn't want to do that again.

It was just a great treat every time you played Pittsburgh and watched Mario play.
