"One thing I hate is people screaming at me. If you want me to do something, talk to me. When someone screams at me to hurry up, I slow down."

"He's adjusted very well. He plays with the kids a lot and he's very chatty. He talks all the time. The kids love him. We talk a lot, have dinner together every night."

"I've watched him skate a little in the past week, and I know how good he is. But once you step onto the ice and start playing, it can be a little different. But I wasn't surprised with how well he played."

"I can no longer play at the level I was accustomed to in the past. That has been very frustrating to me throughout this past year. That's a big part of why I'm retiring."

"First of all he speaks the language which is a lot easier. I didn't speak English until I came to Pittsburgh and it took me awhile to start to feel comfortable with the language. That's a big advantage that he has,"

"Even if we go to the (Stanley Cup) finals, we're not going to make money,"

"People are all excited, saying we're going to make money now ... but in this building, that's the best we can do, ... Even if we go to the finals, we're not going to make money."

"Every game he gets better. That's amazing that he just turned 18 and he's our best player night in and night out. It's incredible."

"He (Crosby) is our best player, night-in and night-out, that's incredible. He just keeps getting better."

"Everyone can change."

"It's a lot more fun to play the game this year than it has been the last four years."

"Maybe he just turned 18, but look how he played in our last (preseason) game, ... He was one of the best players on the ice, making plays, with his skating and his strength, handling the puck. Give this kid a couple of years, he's going to do some damage."

"It's going to be tough. For us to get in the playoffs, we have to win 10 or 12 games in a row and get back in it. That's the only way we can do it."

"The chances are there, it's going to come, ... One of these games, we are going to explode for a few goals and get our confidence back. I think the guys are a little uptight right now."

"But a year off probably hurt some of these guys who didn't stay in shape. It's always tough to come back after a year off."

"I hope all parties continue talking and come to a solution for the betterment of the game."

"Everything that he's doing now is quite amazing at his age."

"I think he's a lot more mature than I was at his age. He speaks very well, always says the right things and because of that I think the adjustment is going to be a lot quicker for him."

"He is, ... more mature than I was at his age."

"The new owners will be bound by the same agreement we have with Isle of Capri. Certainly, our preference would be to keep the team in Pittsburgh forever."

"They're trying to put the best team together, so experience is going to be a factor over there -- I think that had to do with the way they picked the team."

"Maybe he just turned 18, but look how he played in our last [exhibition] game. He was one of the best players on the ice, making plays, with his skating and his strength, handling the puck. Give this kid a couple of years, he's going to do some damage."

"It's up to the community now to decide if they want to keep this team."

"Since the beginning, I always loved the game. When you grow up in Montreal, one day you want to be a professional hockey player. When I was six or seven, I knew that was what I wanted."

"It should be a no-brainer for the community and the politicians, ... If an owner is willing to pay for his own arena, what else more would you want than that?"

"That's good for his confidence, ... Not only the game, but the shootout."
