On Joe Thornton hitting 1,100 assists, Jason Spezza tying Maurice Richard in points, and his appreciation of two of the game’s all-time greats playing on his fourth line:
I had those moments [of appreciation] tonight. Those guys were in the offensive zone snapping the puck around to each other. It is a cool thing. Those guys have accomplished a great deal. They have been elite, elite players for a very long time. To have them on the team for us in that role and being such great leaders for us is outstanding. It is very cool for them to have their own moments here today.
