They said it

"The margin [for] error in this league is very small. And when you are playing a back-to-back and the other team hasn't played, usually you're getting it right off the bat. But I was proud of the way that our guys started. … I thought we did a good job of keeping the pucks to the outside for [goalie Ryan Miller] for most of the night." -- Ducks coach Dallas Eakins on Anaheim's 3-1 win at the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday
"You look at their lineup, they have some high-end defensemen, they've got some really good forwards up front, they're big, they're physical, they've got some world-class players ... and can beat anyone on any given night. I would look at them and say they're a tough team." -- Senators coach D.J. Smith on the Ducks
