"What I'm looking for is we want more than one line grinding it like the (Colin) White line is doing, so we've got to spread the grinding around and the hardness and compete level." -- Senators coach Guy Boucher on changing his forward lines
"We love their family, obviously. Nick's our captain. Milana's the strongest little girl I've ever met. She's a warrior. Today's a pretty crazy day for them. We'll definitely play for them as long as we can." -- Blue Jackets forward Cam Atkinson on Nick Foligno
