They said it

"The schedule is not going to be easy. It gets harder and harder. It's going to be a tough one, but you've just got to be scrappy." -- Coyotes coach Rick Tocchet on facing the past two Stanley Cup champions on back-to-back nights

"You can't be complaining when you've won seen in a row, but there's going to be ups and downs throughout a game, no doubt about it. But I think we can be a little more consistent, especially in the third period when we've got these leads and we're kind of letting these teams back into it. I think that's one area of our game where we can touch up a little bit." -- Blues center Brayden Schenn
