"We know that we need to be smart, especially at their blue line and not turn the puck over. Their transition game is great. Having those mobile defensemen, it's not easy. We need to make sure that the puck goes in deep and we work in there because if not, they're going to make us pay." -- Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron on neutralizing the Predators' defensemen offensively
"Kyle has already been in the middle, playing good minutes inside that top six, top nine role. Just to add a centerman to be able to cover something like that, I always feel like it's important. We've had that strength and that luxury for the past few years, and that's been really good when you've had an injury to a centerman." -- Predators coach Peter Laviolette on Kyle Turris strengthening the center depth
