"We're building on something, and I really feel like the team is gaining a lot of confidence too from playing good defense and some good special teams too. For sure, we're playing good defensively now and we feel good about it. We know it's going to be a tough game today." -- Stars defenseman John Klingberg
"It's really exciting. As players, I think you try to do your best every night. You don't know how many cracks at the playoffs you're going to get. You don't know how many games you're going to be able to play. So the mindset doesn't change a whole lot, but the excitement shifts a little to what an opportunity it is to be able to join a team like this." -- Predators forward Brian Boyle on the chance to win the Stanley Cup in Nashville
