Mats Sundin Games Quotations

He has learned a lot playing behind Eddie. He has learned a lot about preparing for games and being the kind of pro Eddie is. Eddie is still No. 1.

I think we knew with even 25 games to go that it would be dog race to the end. Obviously we have two big games in Montreal, but we have to try and keep winning until the end.

We need everyone playing very well, we need everyone chipping in something and making a contribution for us to win games like that.

We played good for a long stretch. We have to get back to the things we were doing. If we can do that, we can get back to winning some games again.

We're doing the small things well and we're getting better every time out. I thought we played two good games this weekend and came away with three points.

We were flat and looked disorganized out there. To be able to come back and win is huge. You're going to win some games ugly and we did. We'll take the two points but we realize we didn't have our best game.

I've probably played better games this season and come out with no points. Don't get me wrong, I played a good game, but the puck followed me wherever I went. I wish I could say that I said before the game that I would score four goals, but that kind of stuff just doesn't happen.

There's so many games left, our only concern is our own play. We know we can play better than we did in January (3-9-2) and we can beat the teams we need to beat to make it in (the playoffs).

If we want to make the playoffs, we can't have too many more games like that.

It's frustrating. Any time you lose, you're looking for answers and you want to be better and you're not happy but it's the National Hockey League and when you're not playing up to your ability, you're not going to win a lot of hockey games and tonight was one of those nights.

It was hard to watch, the business side is so big in the game.
