'YOTES QUOTES:
• "We've just got to keep going. We have belief in this room right now that every game we come to we should win ... Edmonton's a really good team. We've had pretty good battles with them throughout the year. We've just got to make sure we keep playing the same way and play a whole game." -- Christian Fischer
•"At the end of the day, you've just got to go out and control the things that you can control, and that's the way we play each and every night ... We can't really worry about the rest (of the teams). That's all out of our control. We're just focusing on our group right now and being the best that we can be." -- Lawson Crouse
•"On this homestand, we've been getting more people (at the games) and they're getting louder and louder. You can ask any player, it really helps to have that type of encouragement from the people in the stands." -- Rick Tocchet
