"We need all five guys on the ice together. We attack together, we defend together. Be willing to do the boring work. Be willing to do the thankless stuff. And then the thing is, if you do it for them they'll do it for you and everyone gets more in the end. So that's what we've got to get to. We're not there, but there's no reason why we can't." -- Blackhawks coach Jeremy Colliton
"I think I'm more ready. I think my defensive game has gotten better the whole season so far. I think the coaches have done really good work in Milwaukee with me, just working on defense. Of course, it's been tough, I haven't scored that much in Milwaukee. But still, I think my game is going better." -- Predators forward Eeli Tolvanen who will make his season debut
