"I think anytime we play in our division it's a test for our team. You look at where Winnipeg is at, then we play Chicago. And Dallas right now is winning hockey games. I think it's always tough. St. Louis has been tough. So any division game always provides a tough challenge. I think certainly having a back-to-back situation provides more of a challenge, but that's the schedule everybody gets." -- Predators coach Peter Laviolette
"Our value system is changing. We're not just relying our skill set, we're relying on our work to win games. It's not there yet, it's not where we want it. It's getting better, and I think we're having success because of that. The teams that have long-term playoff success, they trust their work and then they let their skill go from there. And we're starting to learn those qualities." -- Stars coach Ken Hitchcock
