"I think we're there; we're hard to beat. We're rebuilding, and the good thing is, in our rebuild, we're growing fast in the sense that we're hard to beat." -- Senators coach Guy Boucher
"We [track] scoring chances after every game. You look at the stats, the stats are pretty good. The shots are going towards the net, the analytics are good. But the wins aren't good enough, so for me, we've got to play a better 60-minute, complete game ." -- Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant
