They said it

"Even if we're struggling we're not hanging our heads. We created this hole and we have to dig out of it. We have two wins in three games so far and that's always something to build on. We're playing better hockey now than we did in the beginning, so we have to take it day by day." -- Oilers defenseman Adam Larsson
"Our focus has to be on our game and we have to make sure we play that way the whole game. We can't play well for two periods and not have any pushback in the third against teams, it's not good enough. We need to play north-south hockey, fast, pushing the pace. We can't afford to get greedy and try to make plays when teams have good gaps and guys back." -- Devils defenseman Andy Greene
