BEST PLAYER

It wasn't exactly the most entertaining game of the season. Colorado's best player was Ryan O'Reilly, and he wasn't even playing. He's unsigned, too, but he sure helped his negotiating leverage with that performance.

BEST QUIP

"Are you scouting for the Leafs?"

- Roberto Luongo to Toronto journalist Damien Cox. You think Luongo is relaxed? Just a little.

BEST SNICKER

"I'll tell you tomorrow."

- Coach Alain Vigneault said when asked on who starts in goal Friday. Followed by his little snicker.

BEST BAILOUT

"I don't want to say anything cheesy."

- Jason Garrison when asked about scoring his first goal in his hometown.

BEST ANSWER

"Not my job. It's way above my pay grade to make those kinds of decisions."

- Kevin Bieksa on who should play in goal Friday against Chicago.

BEST STAT

10-3. That was Manny Malho-tra in the faceoff circle.
