They said it

"Every game from here to the finish is going to be big. … We're trying to catch teams in front of us. We have ground to make up, but we're growing as a group. We're heading in the right direction. You can feel it in here, and that's important this time of the season." -- Flames forward Andrew Mangiapane
"(Home games have) to be two points for us night-in and night-out. Divisional game (against Winnipeg on Saturday), important points, we'd like to do it in regulation, but it was a good job fighting with it and getting that game tied up and picking up the two points. We'll try to do the same (Sunday)." -- Wild forward Eric Staal
