Quotes

- Mike Richards on the play that led to his game-tying goal on the Island: “I lost [the faceoff] cleanly. They weren’t expecting it, and Thor made a great pass to me.” Hmm . . . losing a draw is now a strategic ploy to fool the Islanders into a false sense of security.

- Kimmo Timonen on the playoff race: “Obviously, like normal people, we watch the standings like everybody else does. Every time we win we’re maybe hoping somebody loses, but they won’t.” Send a guy to the All-Star Game and suddenly he’s the next Clark Kent. Don’t be insulted, fellow normal people - Timonen has a very dry sense of humor.
