Quotes by Peter Bondra

• You have to play defense, that's how you win.
• We're getting rewarded. We don't give up on the play and we show some character at the same time, but there is a long way for us to get to where we want to be.
• We want to learn all the game and play the best way and take to our advantage.
• This is definitely a playoff team. There's no question about that. It's just a matter of how much we want it.
• We talked to the referees before the game; there's always new situations to adjust, for the refs and for us as well. Even on the ice, it's good for players to talk and interact with the referee.
• My job is to score goals.
• To me, it's like we're already in the playoffs. Every game is important for our position. We can't relax at all.
• Our team has a lot of talent. I hope that soon we will break out with four or five goals and avoid overtime.
• Obviously, I have a lot of memories here... but at the same time I'm going to put all my energies into moving forward and doing my best for the Thrashers.
• My speed is my greatest asset.
• I just cannot have an offer on the table and just let it go.
• Now I'm kind of different. I'm not saying I lost my spark - I still have it - but I don't chase the goal as much as I used to. I'm playing for the team and I still know I can score, but it's different than two or three years back.
• Sometimes that happens. I know how it feels to lose eight or nine to nothing. It can be frustrating but it was good for us. This was a team that was hot the last nine games. It seemed like any puck we touched went our way.
