They said it

"It's normally pretty good games when we play these guys. Obviously, this is a really tough building. It's always one of those matchups you look forward to, a measuring stick, and it's going to be a good one tonight." -- Jets forward Blake Wheeler
"We're in the business of winning. For our group, we know how we need to play to be successful. Obviously, we try and do that as much as we can, but when you're playing against 20 men every night that are trying to do the same thing, it's not always easy. Just for our group, we know what we need to do to be successful, and it's just about trying to do that as consistently as possible." -- Predators forward Ryan Johansen
