"He's exactly like his brother (Matthew Tkachuk) and exactly like his dad (Keith Tkachuk). They're tough down there. We've got to make sure we keep him outside because he likes to get to the front of the net. They've got some [defensemen] that can get the puck there so we've got to make sure we play him hard." -- Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo on defending Senators forward Brady Tkachuk
"[The Blues are] super hard-working and a very physical team, and they just wore teams down in the playoffs. Every time in the playoffs they stepped up. Every game it was the same thing, get pucks deep and be physical. I think that's something every team can learn from them, just kind of out-will and out-play them." -- Senators forward Brady Tkachuk
