Dustin Byfuglien talks about his defensive game: "It (his game) is a bit of a roller coaster, but for the most part I feel pretty good. Pucks don’t go your way, bounces, you fight it a little bit, but I seem to be able to come back and have a good shift afterwards and not let it hang on you." [WFP]

Ondrej Pavelec is tired of answering your questions, mainstream media: "I'm going to be honest, I'm tired of answering those questions. You guys ask me every time how I feel when I'm not playing or I'm playing. I don't think it's a big deal that the goalie plays a lot of games. A lot of goalies are doing it. I don't see the reason why the goalie can't do it." [Winnipeg Sun]
