'When asked by a Buffalo reporter about having to face a Sabres club that was desperate to shake its worst slump in nine seasons, Ftorek said, "The team in this room over here (pointing to the Bruins dressing room) is desperate for a win. Every team should be desperate for a win, because if you don't win, you're not doing what you're supposed to be doing. In order to continue to be on the upside, you've got to be desperate every time you go out onto the ice."'
