"It's good to get back. I watched the Red Wings as a kid. I came to many, many games. I watched (Bob) Probert and (Steve) Yzerman and cheered those guys on, so it's certainly special to come back here and coach here." -- Senators coach D.J. Smith, who grew up across the Detroit River in Windsor, Ontario
"We divide our year into five-game segments, so we've been through four of them. In two we've been the equivalent of a playoff team and in two we haven't. So that says to the team that if we play good hockey, we play like a playoff team. Now we're in the middle of another five-game segment where we've got two points with three games to go. We want to get six total." -- Red Wings coach Jeff Blashill
