"We have a good team in here and we can do something special, and we have the team to do it. We're in a good spot right now, guys that worked hard all year to get where they are and set themselves up for the position they're in. So everyone's excited for the playoffs to hurry up and get here, and get to it." -- Bruins forward Charlie Coyle
"We just want to make sure that our pride comes in and we play our best game. We're playing one of the best teams in the NHL. The fear of losing is a great motivator, so hopefully when we step on the ice today everybody will know if the guys are committed or whether they're just sort of waiting for these two games to get over and that comes with character and you'll be able to tell who's got it or who doesn't." -- Wild coach Bruce Boudreau
