They said it

"We worked on everything. I don't think it's one thing when you have a young team like this, I think you have to touch everything every day, or every other day. From forecheck to neutral zone, special teams and then back again, do it. It has to become repetitive. The best teams in the League in my opinion don't get bored of the details and they know how to do it right every time." -- Senators coach D.J. Smith on what Ottawa worked on during its five-day break between games
"I expect they'll skate and they'll play hard, that's what they've done since the start of the year. They'll be a little more assertive than what we've seen in the past, but it's on us." -- Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy on Ottawa
