Todd Bertuzzi Team Quotations

You know what, I discussed all this and dealt with a lot of it back in Vancouver. And that's something that I don't want and I don't need to drag over here for this tournament. This team isn't a part of that, I'm the one that's part of it and I'll deal with everything when I get back home.

With the double team they got to hang onto you. I don't think that's going to happen now.

That was a lot of fun and that's something we need to start getting into this dressing room a little more. When you go through bad spells, which obviously is going to happen in a season, you have to be able to shake it off, laugh about it and move forward. When this team is relaxed and confident, that's when we play our best.

I've discussed it before, and this team is moving on and I'm moving on and we're just concentrating on the game tomorrow and the two points we need. It's a team we've always had spirited rivalries with. They're exciting games to play in.

They are a lot better team than their record and that is something we have to start respecting more is teams in that position -- how hungry they are and how they are fighting for their jobs. We need to have the same kind of matching effort, if not more, and make them play at our level. We didn't do that tonight.

I've played my best hockey in Vancouver and the fans have been a big part of that, ... We have had some success but I feel as a team our best is still yet to come. I am excited about this team and look forward to getting back on the ice with my teammates in front of our fans.

I haven't been myself out there, ... I haven't been playing my game. Things happen, but good people get through tough situations. You got to keep climbing and keep building. The only thing you can really say is that we're winning. We got other guys doing the job while a couple of us are not on the top of our games. It's good to see because it shows how much depth we have on our team and how everyone is moving forward here.

I'm looking forward to it. It's something I have been looking at for the past year. It was nice to be put on the team and nice to accomplish something.

The first couple of shifts felt good. Obviously, we're going to use these games to get ourselves ready for the real thing. ... San Jose, to their credit, they're a quick team so it kept the tempo really up. You really have to skate and work hard to get back. ... But, overall, I think it was OK.

This team is moving on and I'm moving on,

This team is moving on and I'm moving on. We're just concentrating on the game tomorrow and the points we need.
