They said it

"It's a tough one. They played well. They came at us pretty hard. We took too many penalties tonight. Some guys played a lot of minutes on the [penalty kill], and those are tough minutes. -- Ducks forward Corey Perry after the loss to the Blue Jackets
"We've seen it in some of the past few games; we haven't done a good job with the lead. Last game, I thought we pressed to get the next goal. We didn't stop playing by any means. It didn't go our way; a couple bounces, a couple posts. But just continue to try to play the game the right way and not sit back and just play defense." -- Predators forward Austin Watson on playing with leads
