"Don't get bored because they're 2-1 games, 3-2, 1-0. Don't get bored that you think we're a defensive team. We've brought our concentration level to away from the puck, but we've got 20-plus scoring chances each game the last five, just have been a little snakebitten around the net. ... Have to stay with it. I think it'll come if we keep generating 20-plus a game, we'll score some goals." -- Blue Jackets coach John Tortorella
"There's a lot of benefits to it, and that's what I told [Nolan Patrick]. 'Don't worry about the title of first, second, or third line. You're going to get your ice time and the best part here is that the pressure isn't on you to be one of the top six.'"-- Flyers coach Scott Gordon, on leaving Claude Giroux at center and how that affects forward Nolan Patrick
