"We're here to play hockey. You get off the plane and we all know how exciting it can be to see all the sights and it's a new location for us, but you step inside the arena and it's hockey, so we better be ready tonight."-- Blues coach Mike Yeo
"The interesting thing is we're still making mistakes, but we're still finding ways to win. If we can correct them, maybe we can sustain this success longer than people think." -- Golden Knights forward David Perron
