They said it

"We recognize that we need to be better, and we'll all be better because of it. I think we got a point on the road against a real good team, so I don't think we're down by any means. We're doing some good things in games and we've got to build on the positive here." -- Flames goalie Mike Smith on responding after the loss in Columbus.
"It [stinks] to be honest. For me, I started feeling very good when I was playing last couple games, then suddenly I got hurt again. So it's more mental frustration for me, but it is what it is, but I'm real excited to go back in the game tonight." -- Stars center Martin Hanzal on his hand injury
