Jason Fitzsimmons Quotations

I don't know what it is about (Charlotte), but they seem to have our number this year. I think every year you kind of struggle against one team. For the most part they've been competitive games, but for whatever reason, they've been able to come up with a few more bounces and get the wins.

Scott is definitely out and Nate will be a game-time decision.

Marty really helped solidify our blue line. He's really helped calm everyone down back there. I would hate to have him out of the lineup for a long time.

We're fighting for a playoff spot, where Florida had such a good start that they know they're going to make the playoffs. We're fighting for our lives.

I've never seen anything like it during the regular season. Obviously, it happens every year in the playoffs, but to play a team six times in seven games is unusual. We're treating it like a playoff series. We want to get as many points out of this as possible. We're trying to move up the playoff ladder.

With Scott out of the lineup and Nate questionable, Aaron couldn't have come back at a better time for us. He has played the last 45 games at the American League level and I think that's only going to help us defensively.

I don't know if it was really that many shots, but I know it was a lot. Gwinnett has a very powerful offensive team. We've got to do a better job of limiting their shots.
