Tonight was a big difference from the preseason, ... Guys were letting players skate by instead of hooking them.

I hope they don't mention I was on the ice for all four goals in the loss. Hopefully they won't remember that, because that was disappointing.

That's one of the reasons I took a one-year deal here. If the Bruins decided the best thing for the organization was for me to go somewhere else, I would only have the rest of this year in a different organization. And then I could make a decision again next summer. It would be Mike's (O'Connell) call, just like it was (Rangers GM) Glen's (Sather) call in New York.

It's been strong and I haven't had any so-called setbacks or real soreness in the last few workouts. If I can get through (today's) practice with the team, I'd like to play (tomorrow night against the Isles), but that would be up to coach (Mike) Sullivan. But I think the training staff is pushing for (tomorrow) to be my return date.

I think a week off and then a week skating together, and we'll be back in the video room and seeing the things we've done positive. We know where we've been before and we don't want to be back there.
