Hannu Toivonen Quotations

I wouldn't be ready for a game (today), but I feel pretty good about it and I'm happy that I was able to get out there and skate around.

We took too many penalties in the third. It's really hard to win when you take that many penalties.

We can't hang onto this win for too long. We had a great game, but if we don't get the same effort the next game, it's not going to help us in the long run.

We played better with the lead than we have and tonight showed us we can do that. We needed to build confidence with the lead and we did that and got some points tonight.

That was a game that was up for grabs for either team. It's a tough loss. We have to learn not to take that many penalties.

It was a broken play on the blue line. The guy just got a breakaway and I couldn't stop it. I should have stopped it, but unfortunately my mistake cost our team the win.

I'm disappointed but at least we got a point. It feels really bad. We're playing good enough to win the games.

It kind of came really fast. It was just passing, bang. I tried to get myself in there and I had a piece of it but unfortunately it went off the post and in.

It's hard when all your life you're used to a big pocket and all of a sudden, it's half the size. With the new regulations, you obviously have to concentrate on getting those pucks into your pocket. But the glove is now smaller and lighter and it means you can make some saves that you never could before. I try to freeze a lot of pucks on to my body.

I'd rather be in Boston for sure. It's the NHL, and everybody wants to be in the NHL. That will be my goal. This is my third year playing in North America and I still have a lot to learn. I feel confident about myself. I think I was able to play at the AHL level really good and I think I got better throughout the last year. I think I'm ready for the big stuff.
