They said it

"They're a fast team and they've got a lot of grind in their game. They're pretty hot right now, so it's going to be a tough game." -- Predators forward Rocco Grimaldi on the Islanders
"I think we just enjoy playing here. Obviously, it's nice playing in front of your home fans. I think the schedule we've had as of late, there's been a lot of travel. I think we were all pretty hungry to get that last one at home (3-2 overtime win against the Buffalo Sabres on Saturday). We've got to keep that going here tonight." -- Islanders forward Josh Bailey on success at home
