He's not disappointed. He's (ticked) off. I want him (ticked) off. I think it's fantastic for the Tampa Bay Lightning. To me, there's nothing better than an aggravated player, and Johnny is aggravated.

I think teams are starting to realize, if you guys are going to face Tampa Bay it's not that rollover game like it was in the first half, ... Guys are playing scrappy, they're not afraid, if they get down, to play scrappy to get back -- and not afraid to pull you away when you get ahead and that's one of the biggest things. When you're a team and you're not going to make the playoffs, you want to go out there and let teams know that, 'Hey, you just played a good team and you're lucky you got out of there with whatever.' You want them to remember that it wasn't just 'show up at the park and win.' You want them to know, 'Hey, we just had a very tough series.'

I am disappointed to be leaving Tampa Bay, obviously. We won a Cup together and I really enjoyed my time here. But now I want an opportunity to play in the NHL because I know I can prove myself and be an effective player every day.

Yes. You're in Tampa Bay. St. Petersburg, actually.

I'm not up here to rip anyone apart, but let's be honest about what's going on here. And it's getting old. We're going nowhere, nowhere, until (the goaltending) is straightened out.

When we put him in contact situation and we ran him through some drills in Tampa Bay, he didn't do so well. The strength isn't there yet. We're not going to put him in until he's in a situation where he doesn't feel like he's handicapped.
