They said it

"What we have done a good job of after a game of what you saw Thursday night, we've done a good job of bouncing back and playing much better. I'm banking on that trend continuing." -- Rangers coach David Quinn
"I think they're coming in here a little [mad] from their last game. You saw during the game when we were in New York that they're a highly skilled team with a lot of speed. We've got to match that and try to play a solid defensive game. The guys up front will take care of the offense." -- Panthers defenseman Mark Pysyk
