"[Luongo's] a heck of a goalie, and I'll keep saying that and I'll keep on saying that until the day I die. He's unbelievable at stopping pucks, he's had a heck of a career, and he continues to be an elite goaltender. But with him hurt a little bit, you go out there and just take it game by game and just try and stop the puck and give the guys a chance." -- Panthers goalie James Reimer
"We've done a lot winning here, so it gets a little frustrating. The last three years, we've strung a lot of games together and didn't lose too many in a row. … It's a little bit of a learning curve for everyone: myself, the coaching staff, management, our fans." -- Capitals coach Barry Trotz on Washington's slow start
