They said it

"We've been kind of out of the hockey realm here for 10 days, so you have to get the guys back into it. We have to get back to our habits, our game plan, and what makes us successful. Now it's just about hitting bodies and doing all of the gritty things you have to do. We just have to get that fight mentality back into us." -- Lightning coach Jon Cooper

"When they're on top of their game one's not better than the other, they're both great goalies and that's why they're in the high regard that everyone holds them in. They're both great goaltenders and great people too. They're competitive, hardworking and good teammates. It's good to see those guys get rewarded with the attention they're getting. It's deserved." -- Stars coach Rick Bowness on Dallas goalie Ben Bishop and Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy
