They said it

"We need a better performance from our fourth line. All three guys have to be better. They can't be allowing goals as they have as a fourth line recently. We can't call three guys up but we can call one (Michael Chaput). Game to game, whoever deserves to be in, will be in."-- Canadiens coach Claude Julien
"When we play our game we're in your face, suffocating and using our speed. We've been standing around a little too much and not playing to our strengths lately, so it's a simple fix and it's on us. We need to be more consistent in our game plan and have fewer ups and downs." -- Devils defenseman Andy Greene
