They said it

"They're a good team. They play us tough, especially at home. We have to come out, be ready to skate and battle. They're a physical team, and we have to make sure we're ready to battle." -- Red Wings forward Dylan Larkin
"We gave ourselves a chance to win [against the Kings], we had some opportunities on power play and some other good chances. That being said, I think we identified some areas we need to get back to the way we were playing during our winning streak. We were doing things really well. It's about finding that commitment and finding what we need to do to be successful." -- Flyers defenseman Andrew MacDonald
