from Sam Carchidi of Broad Street Bull,

On Ilya Bryzgalov: "I think we're in good shape in goal. I have a lot of faith in Bryzgalov. I think he'll do a real good job for us. I'm not concerned. I think a lot of his problems had to do with the different style we played as opposed to Phoenix, and I really believe we;ll probably tighten it up a bit to help him out. And I think he's a damn good goalie."

On Chris Pronger: "I was just talking to him a few minutes ago. He looks great. He certainly is not ready to play hockey and may never be, but he's part of our organization and we're thrilled that he is."

On how NHL commissioner Gary Bettman handled the lockout: "I'm just thrilled we're here playing hockey. I don't really want to talk about any of that."
