They said it

"Well, we hope so, and I'm glad it's the team that just kicked the crap out of us too, because that should be enough to at least rev up our minds. We'll see where our legs are. These guys suffered through a painful practice just a couple of days ago, but they responded very very well (Sunday) and we'll see how we go (Monday)." -- Ducks coach Dallas Eakins 

"We're not happy, we're not content with where we are, but we are in a playoff spot right now. We've just got to take care of our own business. We know that we're not going to want to depend too much on other teams to give us help, but we've just got to go out and win the games that we're supposed to, and Monday is a game that we need to win." -- Flames forward Matthew Tkachuk
