They said it

"At home we were playing well there and it kind of slipped away in Montreal, so this is a game where we want to bounce back, create our chances ourselves and have a big one. They've got a skilled team and we know that. You don't want to give them room with the puck. Matthews, Tavares, Marner, guys like that, we have to pay attention when they're on the ice." -- Flames forward Sean Monahan
"It's sports. When you can bring emotion into your game, it makes your game better. We're no different than most teams but it definitely helps us. Being a skilled offensive team, when the passion comes into our game, I think we play our best hockey." -- Maple Leafs center Jason Spezza
