"We have not played hard enough the past couple of games. We have not played north well enough the last couple of games. We certainly haven't won enough battles in the last couple of games. And we won two of them. … I think our guys understand, and I feel very confident that we will rectify this." -- Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella
"This game is as big as any as game we've played, if not bigger, just because of how deep we are in the season, this team is [eight] points ahead of us, we've got [three] games in a hand and it's a four-point game." -- Rangers coach David Quinn
