Mark Recchi Good Quotations

He's been a real good player for us and he really started to find his groove the last five or six games.

I thought we were turning the corner. We had a good stretch of games, and we've taken a little step backwards now. We have to find a way to get back again.

We have to learn from this, not just get excited. We have to learn from this and start something where we at least feel good about ourselves going into the (Olympic) break.

We had an opportunity to win the hockey game in the third period and allowed two goals right in the slot. Good road teams don't let that happen. We have to get better at a lot of things right now and we will, but that's one thing we have to get stronger at.

We don't play good hockey until we get behind for whatever reason. If we'd played like that early in games, we wouldn't get into trouble.

He's everything we expected. It's great that he could come in and do a good job like this in his first month under all this pressure.

He's very composed at what he does. He's very focused and he knows what he has to do. He knows how to prepare for games. He's very good at it, he doesn't get sidetracked, he knows what he has to do to deal with the media and gets it done, then focuses on what he has to do. He's tremendous at it for 18 years old.

They brought in some good people that are more interested in the winning aspect of the game. Obviously, everybody wants to play, but they're going to do whatever it takes.

It's nice to get that out of the way. You want to make a good impression on your teammates and play well. And this was an important win for us.

It's like 'Groundhog Day' half the time. We can take away that we showed a great deal of pride in the third and played hard and battled, but we did the same things that have been getting us in trouble all year to get us down four goals. We haven't been very good at learning from our mistakes, from our losses and even from our wins, and that's something we have work on.

It's something where we really have to learn from this and learn the feeling of what it took to win this game. We have so many young guys that this is a learning curve. Every game's a learning process and we haven't been very good at learning. Hopefully we can take this and get better here.
