"Successful teams, which obviously Washington is, they don't have to change much. You know what you're getting every night and that's the challenge, too. Top to bottom there's no weaknesses on that group, so you have to be on your toes, and you've got to be sharp because they can burn you a lot of different ways." -- Hurricanes coach Rod Brind'Amour
"If we're going to outwork the opponent and we manage the puck, we're going to be just fine. But when we don't, we're going to continue to waiver and struggle, and win some and lose some and make it a game of chance. And right now, that's what's happening too often." -- Capitals coach Todd Reirden
