They said it

"It's been surreal and [I haven't] really [had] any time to reflect on it. Just concentrate on tonight and play my game and remain confident and see how it shakes out." -- Panthers forward Anthony Greco on making his NHL debut
"They have five guys on their team that are averaging almost a point a game and they've good skill level. They're in every game … so you know you're going to get a competitive game every time you play them. We don't want to get into a run-and-gun game with these guys. We want to get into a structured game, which is the game we play. If we do that we'll be successful." -- Wild coach Bruce Boudreau on the Panthers
