They said it

"That's my game, that's when I'm feeling good -- possessing the puck like that, winning battles. I think that's what this team needs from me, and I need to do that more often." -- Bruins forward Charlie Coyle on his performance Saturday
"You have to score goals to win, and we didn't do that tonight. We didn't generate enough shots. I thought early we passed up a few too many. That was the story of the game. It was a close game, but you've got to score here to win. Their D are so good. They just play heads-up hockey and made it hard for us to generate (offense)." -- Red Wings center Dylan Larkin after the loss Friday
